Pros

Vida Health app is great and our mission to help people is fantastic.

Cons

Unsure what is going on with the company. Talent retention is at its low. We are losing great talent one after another. HR is managed with no experience. Accountant team is practically non-existent now after resignations. IT does not exist. Constantly hear complaints about the company while nobody is addressing the issues. Culture is being fixed by "after work hangouts" makes it seem like leadership does not want to waste any time building culture during work hours when employees are being "paid". Nobody attends these hangouts including the leadership team.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We’re happy that you think highly of Vida’s mission and product. As with most startups, we’ve experienced our share of iterating and growing from mistakes, but today we’re well positioned to take on the market. As for talent retention, it’s actually quite high by Bay Area standards. Our average employee tenure is higher than industry average in the area. This year we’ve had to make a few tough choices and part with people who weren’t a good fit with the company. But we go out of our way to reward high-performing employees, and they’re staying. A good social culture is important at Vida and we’ve recently organized company events: Giants games, sailing on the Bay, group fitness classes, etc. These events get good turn-out. And while we’d love to have every employee participate in every event, we also know people need to spend time with families and friends.

Pros

1. relatively flexible work hours 2. exposure to executive leaders (though this can also be a very big con)

Cons

1. culture focused on execution, but not necessarily on the right thing - there's very much a mindset of "let's do anything and everything" without an explanation of why we're doing it that leaves many employees confused on what's a priority and what isn't. There are constant "fires"; we seem desperate in the market. 2. no investment in employees - leaders like to push employees to the limit to test how far they can go before someone snaps; then constantly surprised when employees complain and quit 3. terrible healthcare benefits - quite surprising for a *healthcare* company; good luck trying to take care of your family on this insurance policy, or god forbid go on "maternity leave" 4. temperamental and overly (passive) aggressive leadership team - I've witnessed and have been the recipient of undue public verbal floggings 5. business value - we harp on the fact that our competitors are experts only in one vertical, but isn't there something to be said about dabbling in so many areas we don't have *any* expertise in?

Thank you for your feedback. We think the totality of reviews here on Glassdoor give a more fair, well-rounded picture of the company and culture. To address one of the major concerns about whether we are executing on the right things, we strongly believe we are. The market has validated our long-held belief that point solutions are not the answer as our competitors have started to follow our model. As for healthcare, we recently upgraded our healthcare benefits to “gold” and “platinum” insurance plans and now cover 100% of the cost of employees’ insurance. We will continue to refine our benefits and compensation programs and are addressing career paths across the company. Please be sure to let your manager know about your professional goals and aspirations, and most importantly you should feel secure in expressing concerns to anyone on the leadership team. We believe in open and ongoing productive conversations leading to better outcomes for all. Thank you again for your thoughts.
