Pros
I worked at HealthEquity for many years. When I started there it was an amazing company to work for. I loved everything they stood for and I loved the work that I was doing.
Cons
I am one of at least 10 extremely talented employees who have now left the same department in the last few months, most whom have no other job lined up, we just couldn’t tolerate or condone the way leadership treated us. The majority of the resigned employees are women in leadership roles who were tired of being treated as inferior for many different reasons. Being demoted by having their direct reports taken from them and given to male leaders. Being passed over for promotions so that the Executive leader could bring in another one of his buddies. Being refused resources necessary for your job on multiple occasions only to have those resources go to someone else in the ‘good ol’ boys’ club. Also, no one at HealthEquity will listen or say no when other departments constantly request things and demand them in ridiculous time-frames. It is always “Assume positive intent” or you aren’t being very “purple”. I am sorry, but this has to work both ways! You can’t really think that being purple means running to your executive leader every single time someone says they have something more important to do than your project that YOU left until the last minute. These issues along with many more have consistently been brought up with the people team and they continue to do nothing about it. The amazing place I came to work for years ago is now a thing of the past. There is a night and day difference from when I started working at HealthEquity to what it has become today. HealthEquity has become a hostile working environment. And to be clear, this has nothing to do with the WageWorks integration and EVERYTHING to do with the management from the executive level.
