Pros

A smart and hardworking team that cares about patients.

Cons

Wow, Virta. What a disappointment. What happened to your values of “People First” and “Taking Care of Each Other”? Did these values evaporate overnight? From one day to the other 1/3 of the company was laid off without any kind of indication or advance notice of what was to come. One day you are told that everything is great. The next day you find yourself in a 7-minute Zoom meeting with several other shocked people who are told that this is it. No sign of compassion, no thank you for your hard work, no words of regret to maybe soften the blow. It’s one thing to get axed by a company that didn’t give you the illusion of safety, and that didn’t pretend that you count for something as a human being. It’s a different thing to get laid off like that by a company that did exactly that. The saddest part is that 99% of the people who got laid off in such a humiliating way would have probably been happy and willing to accept a cut in hours, or a reduced salary, or willing to accept anything else that could have helped the company through these COVID-19 times. But no alternatives whatsoever were proposed to help people stay employed. Well, good luck with trying to maintain the illusion of “People First”. Very disappointing and sad.

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.
