Pros

Work from home is nice.

Cons

The Coaching and Care Operations teams are managed by a small group of so-called "leaders" who function more as individual contributors, lacking the necessary skills to effectively lead or develop their teams. As a result, the very team members they are meant to support are the ones who suffer the most. That company has a long road ahead if they want to establish themselves as a sustainable, high performing organization. In the early days of a startup, leadership can often be mistaken for sheer hustle, firefighting one crisis after another, executing relentlessly, and keeping the ship afloat. But true leadership isn’t just about putting out fires; it’s about vision, strategy, and the ability to develop and empower people. The real test comes when a company transitions from startup chaos to a structured, scalable business. That’s when leaders must rise beyond task execution and prove they can build, inspire, and guide teams toward long-term success. From what I’ve seen, the senior leaders in care operations and coaching aren’t anywhere close to the level of leadership required to make that transition.

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.
