Pros

+ Amazing treatment that actually works: Getting to see the data and stories of our patients' success is inspiring and keeps me motivated and excited to come in every Monday. The company really is patient first and it shows in our execution. + Fantastic team: As an engineer, I get to work alongside incredibly talented individuals who care deeply about moving fast AND safely. There is a strong ethos to avoid accruing technical debt and with the migration to GCP, we are leveraging some of the best technologies in our stack. + Humility and Kindness: The people who work here really care. In the last 6 months, the company has gone through some difficult times with voluntary and involuntary attrition as well as harassment claims and compensation deficiencies. In recent months, leadership has worked HARD to listen to each individual across the company and to improve. Even though mistakes were made, there is real humility and growth. + Flexible WFH / PTO

Cons

– Compensation: While compensation improvements have been promised, historically the company has underpaid employees. There is also no 401K matching. While I love working here it is frustrating to be paid less than my peers at other similarly sized and funded companies.

Pros

Remote working, having the ability to mute your microphone during waste-of-time propaganda meetings. Benefits for L&D, and work at home stipend.

Cons

Any role that is Member facing is treated like trash. When they post positions, the sum total has often been 2-3 million, with the absolute lowest salaries being those helping Members. That says a lot- but then again, it's a for profit healthcare company, so that says it all. Every meme/satire or TT you've ever seen about toxic corporate workplaces are made because of places like Virta. Every manager, associate director and director share skillsets with snake-oil salesmen of old. They talk and you're aware they're using poor manipulation techniques that just give you the creeps. Nothing matters. High performers, low performers, those who have second jobs who don't even do their job- doesn't matter. You're all the same to them. They'll find a carrot to try to dangle- like 3 percent peanut butter raises. They abhor internal promotions, so it's a dead end job, no matter how much you demonstrate your value with metrics, skillsets, education, and experience. During hiring they sing a song about promotions, growth, new company, yadda-yadda, but it's all a lie. There's no communication between teams, and tribal knowledge rules. The left had has no idea what the right is doing. It honestly feels like a money laundering operation for people who know directors to get insider jobs. Run.
