Pros

There are so many great things that describes Virta Health. I think the best thing about Virta is being able to work with such an incredible, compassionate, talented, and driven group of people I have ever met. If you are looking for a place to work with positive and career-motivating people, check out Virta! The mission of Virta to slow down the physiology of Type 2 Diabetes, and aiming to reverse it in 100M by 2025 is an incredible goal to work towards. Being able to interact with patients and see their lives profoundly change is nothing short of incredible. If you would like to work towards a goal that is bigger than yourself, check out Virta! Also, the benefits are amazing! Overall, in my 5+ years working in the healthcare industry, Virta tops my chart!

Cons

Virta is working very hard to provide the best compensation possible for each and every employee. That being said, I would say the pay could be more competitive in similar roles in this industry.

Pros

There are quite a few. First and foremost, Virta has an incredible company mission and being able to be a part of that journey is incredibly rewarding. Helping to reverse diabetes is something that every person at Virta is committed to achieving. We are regularly reminded of our goals by hearing from our patients firsthand- constant reminders as to why we do what we do. I work remotely from home and still feel very connected to the company and my colleagues. On the sales team (which I personally work on) we have exceptional leadership and there is ample avenues to make an impact on our team and the company as a whole. The pay is certainly on par with other companies I have worked at in the space and on the sales team there is opportunity to do quite well for motivated individuals. In my 10 year career, I have never worked for an organization that is as exciting, welcoming, and rewarding as Virta.

Cons

What we're doing is incredibly difficult. We are working to not only reverse diabetes, but to convince the world that it can be reversed. While scientifically proven to be the case, many people are still unaware and much of our efforts are spent to evangelize this new option for people living with type 2.

Pros

+ Amazing treatment that actually works: Getting to see the data and stories of our patients' success is inspiring and keeps me motivated and excited to come in every Monday. The company really is patient first and it shows in our execution. + Fantastic team: As an engineer, I get to work alongside incredibly talented individuals who care deeply about moving fast AND safely. There is a strong ethos to avoid accruing technical debt and with the migration to GCP, we are leveraging some of the best technologies in our stack. + Humility and Kindness: The people who work here really care. In the last 6 months, the company has gone through some difficult times with voluntary and involuntary attrition as well as harassment claims and compensation deficiencies. In recent months, leadership has worked HARD to listen to each individual across the company and to improve. Even though mistakes were made, there is real humility and growth. + Flexible WFH / PTO

Cons

– Compensation: While compensation improvements have been promised, historically the company has underpaid employees. There is also no 401K matching. While I love working here it is frustrating to be paid less than my peers at other similarly sized and funded companies.
