Omada Health reviews

I worked at Omada for about a year. Heavily recruited, I got head-hunted, and had an offer within a week of that screening interview. (I will note that other reviewers would suggest that is highly unusual; that Omada generally draws out the interview process.) Omada is successful, on paper. I say on paper because it's almost certainly doomed to extinction given that their efforts to differentiate themselves from other virtual care offerings are tepid at best. Background: Essentially, Omada's programs are a get-well card that employers who buy Omada access can give to their employees. Though the offer of "continual support" is meaningless and responsibility-shifting but it sounds like a nice perk and the employer can sell it as like an on-demand nurse’s office. What should concern anyone looking for a position here, in Marketing or otherwise, is that Omada does not have science of their own, and you should not be fooled into imagining as such. Likewise, they do not have a voice of their own. It's dated at least 10 years (something like that; it's as old as whenever Jim Gaffigan first made a joke about kale being gross). The company revels in its ultra silicon valley, ultra progressive, company culture utopianism... remote-first; meetings to recognize fellow employees [you've never heard of]; asks to update your personal LinkedIn header to promote their products of campaigns; a "leveling guide" to define when you're ready for a promotion (though, as yet unreleased as far as I know)... cutsey CEO-led all-hands meetings to show the masses us that, though they make my ten times what we do, they're still goofy and down-to-earth. I wonder how many of my colleagues also found this more than slightly stomach-turning aside from simply worthy of an eye-roll. It's a small, isolated world. I found my own manager (though this person only handled a team of 5 or so total) constantly unavailable. Zero on-the-job training; everyone's too busy for that and, yet, we have lots of middlers doing God knows what except passing information from one person to the next. Another GlassDoor reviewer referred to "Omada nice" as a perpetual problem: co-workers who would ask for the work on impossible deadlines without instructions then run to your manager to inform on you if the product wasn't what they wanted. The absence of direct feedback isn't just job-threatening, it's a major career damager. Every minutely creative project is outsourced to the numerous creative agencies or freelancers Omada has on retainer — you will not be informed of this in your interview. They say, as all good job descriptions say, in so many words that they want a Jeremiah á la the Old Testament (a hundred prophets were telling the people all would be well. He alone told them the truth) but they do not. They want someone who can put up the day job drudgery but do so with some mustered enthusiasm for their "company values" that take the "day" out of the day job and turn it into some life quest to be a part of this incredibly boring, demonstrably uninspired, unrevolutionary company.

- we all feel disposable and not appreciated after years of super hard work with little concrete strategic direction from leadership - claims to be a thought leader in the space about employee wellbeing but all of us are completely burnt out and fear our job security due to layoffs and intentional culture shifts to “toughen us up”. Pretty ironic. - employee turnover is bad. Morale is low.
