Pros

The company previously had a strong mission-driven culture, before the significant shift toward prioritizing cost-cutting over ethics

Cons

Strategically eliminated half of the Ops/Claims department a week before annual reviews and raises (which had been repeatedly postponed). The majority of work was sent out of the country for cheaper labor, while the company publicly claimed the reduction in force was due to AI. Constantly preaches about how transparent they are while practicing the opposite. Having seen multiple layoffs over the past few years, it is clear that even for long-term employees (3+years) and strong performers, tenure and performance do not guarantee security here.

Pros

A paycheck. I can honestly find no other pros.

Cons

High performers are looked over for promotions and favoritism is what drives the culture. Horrible work/life balance if you are not management due to the metrics they continue to increase with little to no raises. Benefits slowly getting taken away and "perks" are pretty much non-existent or are limited and cumbersome. Overall the culture is horrible. You feel pressured daily to complete metrics that are unreasonable to ensure you never exceed. Raises are .50 and do not even start to cover inflation or your worth. Both your mental and physical health will suffer. If you think that because Alma is a Mental Health company they will care, I can assure you they don't. Even stated in All Hands meeting "This is not a Mental Health company" when an employee mentioned concern for the culture and their Mental Health. "We are a Health-Tech company".
