Pros

Working in the wellness technology space is relatable and interesting.

Cons

Read the negative reviews from other people - they are true. Something that is not included in some of those comments is the lack of transparency from leadership and a bit of a toxic environment. The company does not share the financials whatsoever. We get a weekly slack update on some unit economics but have no idea how healthy the entire business is. Then, surprise layoffs! The lack of collaboration from cross functional teams and the tolerance for it is astounding. Some teams here need support from other partners and those teams refuse to help with no good reason. A phrase that is heard often is "That's out of scope for me" even if they are the only ones that potentially could help and just leave others drowning. For a company who helps Athletes and Teams there sure a lot of folks here who don't seem to know what a team is.

Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
