Pros

The mission is what has kept me here along with a lot of a really smart people who are great to work with.

Cons

Used to really enjoy working here but things have started to go downhill over the past year after a major reorg. -Poor communication and lack of clear direction from leadership and management -Focus too much on putting out fires instead of addressing underlying issues -Product team lacks someone in a leadership role to set strategic direction and is instead led by an unnecessary layer of ineffective middle management. -Significant gaps in communication and business prioritization across teams. -Burnout is widespread and some managers have no problem finger pointing and throwing others under the bus -There has been a recent string of layoffs that have been kept quiet leading to poor morale. The culture has become toxic at this point which is unfortunate because the company mission is a great one.

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.
