Pros

Overall easy interview process, given its all remote. There are definitely some good folks working here. The mission and the product are great and this is what we all sign up for.

Cons

After spending a few years working at Virta, I've come to realize a lot of executives and senior managers are willing and ready to throw others under the bus to protect themselves quite often. Attrition of tenured staff seems to be a growing problem that HR can't wrap their hands around. They've also been actively asking new hires to put up reviews to help pad their glassdoor numbers. It seems pretty common for folks to come in being very excited about the mission/product and grind away for years and then end up, leaving very unsatisfied, realizing it was a lot of smoke and mirrors. I do think the CEO has good intentions but I believe the other C level executives are working hard to protect themselves and they're close knit circles, even if that means hurting others and the business in the long run. There's also a lot of silos surprisingly for such a young (startup) company where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and then the finger pointing starts. Usually the loudest executive gets their way and shifts the blame to some other team, who has little to no control with what they're actually having problems with in the first place. In the past, I would have recommended Virta as a great place to work, nowadays not so much.

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.
