Pros

Remote work, autonomy and reasonable accommodations.

Cons

Internal promotions seem to be geared toward very specific groups of people. Upper management makes it clear that the support roles are easily replaced and not valued. The metrics by which you are compensated do not correlate with the job functions.

1 Bad Apple Really Can Ruin the Bunch

Pros

HealthSherpa has the best Senior Leadership I've seen of all the companies I've worked for. The founders are very transparent and communicate the company's status and long and short-term plans. They have a great People Ops team that actually values Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. While they don't always get things right, the company, as a whole, does try to learn from its mistakes.

Cons

While Senior Leadership is stellar, middle management tends to be a crap shoot. Like many companies, sometimes high-performing ICs are promoted to management but have absolutely no management experience or skills. This can lead to some teams having a really toxic atmosphere, even when the rest of the organization has a great culture. The old addage is true: one bad apple really can spoil a whole barrel.

Values-Aligned Work in Tech

Pros

HealthSherpa is the first company I’ve worked for in over a decade to treat me like a person and compensate me well. The benefits package is very strong and I don’t have to worry about not being able to afford co-pays or having crazy high premiums. My manager is kind and cares about me and my growth. The work I do feels aligned to my values; I don’t feel like I had to sell my soul to work in tech. I have peace of mind at work even on stressful days.

Cons

I worry a bit about job security with mass tech layoffs. No one is immune.
