Pros
- Teammates are genuinely nice and pleasant to work with. - I get paid on time. - If you care about your mental health and your worth as an employee and a human being, do NOT work for this company. This company creates software to help people with mental health issues, but yet creates a toxic engineering culture that destroys employees' well-being.
Kontras
- Marked lack of diversity in leadership positions. - Uncompetitive pay compared to other companies in the same area. This is the lowest I've ever been paid in my career. The only reason I'm still working here is because of the bad job market. - The codebase is old and is so confusing that you'll want to cry, especially when working with the front-end. That's because they don't use a modern web framework. All of their code is messed up vanilla JavaScript and TypeScript. - They downgraded their 401k investment options from last year even though they were recently VC-funded. - Performance metrics are ridiculous and are laughable at best. These metrics turn teammates against each other instead of fostering a collaborative environment. No one cares about code quality. They prioritize velocity so everyone is incentivized to write the worst code so that they can meet ticket quotas. Think of a sweatshop like AWS, but worse since there's really no good pay or benefits, and TherapyNotes is what you'll find. - They pretend to be progressive, but run their engineering department like a call center. I feel like I'm an expendable employee and I'm not at all valued. They're no different than a regressive corporate company stuck in the 1950s.
