Pros
Great mission, amazing to be part of a real solution for patient living with T2D. Benefits are great, particularly parental leave!
Cons
I once thought I was the luckiest person to have an opportunity at Virta. The people were smart, I was treated well and the culture was fun/eager/engaging. Over the past few years, things have significantly changed. What was once a "People First" environment quickly became a "We are not hitting the bottom line". Leaders trying to restructure the current team's compensation to save money, significantly lowering incoming employee's compensation, and small (unadvertised) layoffs happening consistently. The amount of people I saw laid off/let go over the span of 2 years was quite sad. The result of rash decisions and/or general impatience if an employee needed additional development. People are constantly getting let go and their positions immediately reposted, it's a rotating door. Lastly, there is absolutely a small "favored" group of individuals, including (but not all) several leaders. Seemly getting promoted every year, despite MANY complaints and incompetence. I have never witnessed anyone in a professional setting be so blatantly rude, disregard others’ opinions and even yell at their coworkers and subordinates, but yet this particular leader continues to rise through the ranks.
