Pros

Free parking Decent Coffee machine Nice view of the city

Cons

This company prides itself on keeping all your health in one place, but walking through the office, there’s very little passion for health and wellness. As another poster noted, there’s no healthy snacks in the kitchen, just high caloric sugars. The fridges are stocked with beer and soda. There’s plenty of candy around the office. Also, I don’t think many employees fully understand what the company does. “How are you doing” is not something you’ll hear from many coworkers here. Most people are so engrossed in what they’re doing that no one cares about your wellbeing. HR department consists of one HR person and a few accountants. 401k match is amongst the worst in the industry. Holiday party was at a Buckhead bar which wreaked of stale beer. Sharecare – pulling out all the stops! You can see from the onslaught of recent negatives reviews which are the employees and which are from management doing damage control.

It's important to us to hear our employees' perspectives, and we sincerely hope that you shared yours during the time you spent as a Sharecare colleague. Depending on when you were with Sharecare, you may have heard about the strides we're making to connect employees differently and in ways that keep them informed about the business. We continue to host quarterly all-hands for all employees that include comprehensive business updates. We also use our internal newsletter to share wins, updates and stories about employees with our global internal audience. Though we recognize we still have work to do, we've received really positive feedback about the strides we've made towards connecting and informing our employees, and are exciting about expanding those efforts in the near future. Finally, we appreciate you highlighting for us that we need to market our Human Resources department differently! Our HR team is made up of approximately 20 team members boasting specialized skills in all areas of HR, and is represented in all major offices around the globe.

Good talent being wasted

Pros

The people: By and large, the people at Sharecare want to make a difference and you can feel that. The vast majority of the entry and mid level employees are good people at their core - collaborative, fun, kind and driven. Senior management also is made up of very accomplished professionals with a range of experience - the C-suite has done a good job of recruiting some all-stars... (but read more in the Cons) The space: The location in the heart of Buckhead is great, and the offices are just over a year old. Very cool space with amazing views of the city.

Cons

HR/Benefits: I've heard a lot of employees complain about the benefits - but it's not that they aren't good; they're just really complicated. Unfortunately, there isn't a real HR department so getting information about that kind of stuff can be tough - and all the other cons that go along with not having an HR department. Exec Leadership: While the exec leaders have done a great job hiring some very impressive people, it doesn't seem like they actually trust those people to do their jobs and/or recognize when talent "below" them have more expertise than they do in a particular area. They neither seek nor accept advice (at least sincerely), which frustrates those managers - and it trickles down to the rest of the company. There also seems to be no rhyme or reason with titles, promotions or organizational structure; and in an effort to get more accomplished, they pit employees against one another. It can be toxic, especially when they allow some senior managers bully their employees. And because there's no HR department, there's no where to air grievances or provide constructive criticism.

If you are truly a current employee and you believe as you stated that "the people are good, want to make difference, collaborative, fun, kind, driven" than why 2 stars? If you have questions/concerns, why not speak to a manager or management team as i find them to be very open to talk. If you are confused about benefits, the company has a customer care team for benefits questions available via 1 800 number 10+ hours per day or you can email them or do a live chat.

Pros

Free healthy snacks like granola bars and such (even though they taste like paper). Free soda, such as Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite (ironic, since they give us supposedly healthy bars for snacks). People leave by 5pm everyday. Sometimes they don't even show up, and they tell everyone they "work from home". It's awesome like that.

Cons

Where to begin? People feel entitled here. They don't know any other industry. They have meetings for meetings about meetings. The VPs and Directors write up ridiculous marketing documents to make themselves look busy. It's all marketing jargon with no substance. HR is not confidential, and has in the past made fun of others. Too top heavy. Their acquisition of QualityHealth is a joke. What does QualityHealth even do? Someone should ask their President. The list goes on.
