      Pros

      Weekly meetings where we get to hear from an actual patient. Yearly company offsite Great health benefits (although unclear how long this will continue) I am going to be one of the people who say my compensation is actually decent Remote first but encourages in-office collaboration if you are local to one of their offices in Denver or SF Never had issue taking time off when I needed to Appreciate hearing Sami telling it like it is

      Cons

      Virta was great when I started but over the past year, I have noticed more people are burnt out, stressed, feeling disengaged, etc. No 401K matching No career development One of our values is around rapid iteration and risk-taking but too many important decisions are made on a whim with little thought to the consequences Lack of resources and support to do the job properly which leads to a lot of frustration Unrealistic expectations are placed on you to quickly deliver on things with no thought or consideration of what needs to happen to make it work. Low morale in my department

      Great people, strong mission, challenging work

      Pros

      -- I work among the brightest and most compassionate people I know. The people at the company are our strongest asset. -- Mission-driven. We work to improve peoples' lives through improved health outcomes every day. We are doing real work that really matters. -- Opportunities for growth and achievement. If you work hard and do well in your role, you can learn a lot, gain new skills, and take on more responsibility. Managers (for the most part) want you to be successful, even if that isn't on their team. -- It's hard work. Much is expected of you, and you can't just coast by. It is not an easy job by any stretch, but it's rewarding and you feel accomplished, like you are contributing to something bigger than yourself. -- Transparency. Employees have a window into every aspect of the company, including senior management and the CEO. We take it for granted sometimes, but this really is an important and meaningful positive to working here.

      Cons

      -- Workload can feel grueling at times, particularly if you aren't good at managing your time and energy. The phrase "sustainable high performance" is used here often, but actually achieving that is challenging. -- Employee retention. While this has not yet been an issue, I believe that it will be soon. Salaries, particularly for the operations team and those who have been here for 1-2+ years, are below market rate and have been for some time. Annual comp increases do not seem to take this fact into account. -- Diversity on the senior management team continues to be a concern. Virta is making investments in other areas of D&I, but representation matters.

      Favoritism and Self-Preservation Culture

      Pros

      Meaningful mission, directly contribute to improving people’s health, well-being, and quality of life, a powerful motivator to join the company.

      Cons

      After spending several years working here, I’ve come to recognize troubling patterns in the leadership. Some leaders consistently engage in undermining behavior that reflects a fear-based management style, which eroded trust and collaboration across teams, and contributed to the growing attrition of tenured staff. Many employees begin their journey here with enthusiasm for the company’s mission and product, only to leave years later feeling disillusioned, realizing much of what they were sold was little more than smoke and mirrors. Some of the VPs are unqualified, they became VPs because of the relationship with the founder, favoritism and self-preservation reign supreme. Certain leaders form tight-knit cliques, protecting one another even at the expense of the business and its people. This “circle of power” enables toxic behaviors to go unchecked, fostering a culture where finger-pointing and blame shifting are commonplace. The hotline is a joke. Employees who speak up, whether they report misconduct, harassment, or compliance issues and violations, get let go. The damage caused by this toxic leadership is immense. Good employees are burned out, overworked, and unappreciated. The company’s culture is deteriorating under the weight of these issues. Bottom Line: Think twice before joining this company. The toxic corrupted work environment will take a toll on your mental health. You’ll likely face overwork, minimal support, and a lack of appreciation for your contributions. Until the leadership and culture undergo a significant overhaul, and hire qualified leaders (starting with a qualified CTO/VP of Eng.), this is not a place where most employees can thrive.
