Pros

I know of no other place where I can have the impact that I do at Virta. We're changing people's lives here for the better. Compared to the status quo, the care Virta offers is revolutionary both in its method and in its results. It's been a wild ride since I've joined. The company has ballooned in size and there's always a new challenge to face to properly scale the team and the care we provide. The CEO cares about having a positive impact, having a good work life balance, and making Virta the kind of company that you can have a long and fulfilling career at. Onwards and upwards!

Cons

The team is split geographically between Denver and San Francisco. We manage, but sometimes it can make communication a bit tricky.

Meaningful work, HUGE mission

Pros

The first thing the struck me when I joined Virta was the huge and inspiring mission. Virta is focusing on REVERSING type 2 diabetes, and our patients LOVE us. It's incredibly gratifying to work for a company (and a cause) that is so meaningful. Virta is at an exciting phase of growth, and getting great traction from some of the largest health plans and employers in the country. People who join the company tend to be very mission-driven. There are boatloads of career growth opportunities that will only multiply as the company grows.

Cons

Virta is entering startup "adolescence", and the transition has been tough for some people. In the last few months we've moved from a completely flat / kumbaya-singing org to more structured "leveling" and hierarchy, which is appropriate for our stage, but has not been an easy transition for everyone.

Pros

To work on an incredibly powerful mission in healthcare and the ability to change the paradigm around what it means to treat a disease that effects too many millions of people is incredibly rewarding. There is high growth, lots of interesting projects and challenges, and the ability to work on several high impact projects with visibility. Leadership is extremely open to feedback and improving communication flows as we scale and continues to put in the work to iterate on the feedback. I have been really impressed with those initiatives. Benefits revamp is INCREDIBLE and parallels our mission in healthcare and aligns with our values

Cons

The ambiguity in trying to build a treatment that has never been built before and doing it at such scale can be a challenge. Projects change and evolve quickly.
