Work that makes a difference in people's lives
Pros
The biggest benefit is that you regularly hear from patient's about how your work is impacting their lives. We get messages daily from patient's who have seen substantial improvements in the control of their type 2 diabetes including reduction/elimination of medications, lost weight and improved health There's a cliche about startups that are "changing the world" but at Virta Health, you have actual examples and data to see that the code you're working on is helping people There are some decent benefits with the unlimited PTO, good health insurance, etc Virta just announced a remote first policy that should allow us to hire candidates around the country and give more flexibility for employees. It also indicates a commitment to improving the working experience for remote employees
Cons
Virta is growing rapidly so teams and managers shift regularly The management philosophy is closer to the Netflix philosophy that "we're a team; not a family"
