Pros

The people are amazing, work from policy and you will definitely learn at an accelerated pace!

Cons

The cons outweigh the pros by far: - SUPER TOXIC culture - environment of constant stress and burn out (oh the irony) - high turnover, people constantly leave without having another job. This is just a nightmare for the continuity of the business. Information gets lost etc. - I don’t feel like Arianna actually cares about the well being of her employees. It’s all about the optics and building her own personal brand. - the financial health of the organization is questionable - Arianna/leadership do not trust their employees to do their job.

CEO/Leadership Team in over their heads

Pros

Connection with talented people, most of whom have left

Cons

A company with no leadership nor sense of direction! The internal culture is the ultimate in hypocrisy. The recruiting experience, and claims made to new employees, are completely opposite from reality. Within the first several days of onboarding, clear there is no strategy across business segments. The amount of change/turnover couched in startup vernacular (i.e. not for faint of heart, pull up bootstraps, moving fast, rapid growth/need to pivot), while reality is knee-jerk decisions by select group of leaders managing up, a group very much out of touch with growth/scale of a tech co. Co hired too many/too fast in last 12-18 months, gave absolutely zero support, with a product that is avg at best, and not SaaS, despite claim. Company being built off of rolodex, with micromanagement and underlings at every turn. Clear need to evangelize and educate market, with no understanding of how at Exec Level (Sales, Marketing, CS, Product). Result is distrust, discord, and disillusionment across the business. Irony is the amount of stress and burnout internally when co touts expertise on how to reduce and eliminate for customers. Recent layoffs (several) positioned as performance related across Product, Sales, and CS, when reality is lack of focus, clarity on objectives, and alignment translates into cost-cutting decisions with no accountability from Leadership. Leaders use "Board decisions" to rationalize and push accountability down. Truly a toxic place to work! Recent Sales Leader more sales trainer (not a good one)!

Pros

- There are a few amazing people - Remote friendly - Benefits are not terrible.

Cons

- Clear path to burnout, they will overwork you. - Bad leadership: there are conflicting priorities (what Arianna says vs. CPO/Others) - Product sucks. No one uses it, and it's laughable how non-scientific it is. - Culture is toxic. There is finger pointing everywhere. - Constant fires to put out

In fact, science is at the core of Thrive — the foundation of our product, curriculum, Microsteps, and more. Our science-backed, data-driven approach to behavior change is central to the value we bring to customers. As all Thrive employees know, we’re constantly having conversations about how we can incorporate the latest science — from neuroscience and habit formation to cognitive nutrition and sleep — to enhance our products and have a measurable impact on people’s lives. There are too many examples to list, but to name a few: We created a science-backed mental health curriculum "Thriving Mind" in partnership with Stanford Medicine featuring pioneering neuroscience, published a book in March 2021, “Your Time to Thrive: End Burnout, Increase Well-being, and Unlock Your Full Potential with the New Science of Microsteps"; launched a new cognitive nutrition curriculum fully based on science, and have full support and guidance from our Scientific Advisory Board. And we are proud that our product has been adopted by employees at more than 125 organizations in over 140 countries.
