Pros

Benefits and ability to work remote

Cons

Leadership Accessibility & Support: There is a notable lack of professional support from management. Training is frequently delegated to employees with limited tenure, leading to systemic knowledge gaps. Even when the company acknowledges these training deficiencies, the response is often to initiate performance management rather than providing the supplemental resources or coaching originally promised. Operational Intensity & Monitoring: The culture involves expectations for 'always-on' video connectivity, which can feel like micromanagement. Sourcing metrics are exceptionally high and rigid; these targets do not scale for approved time off or mandatory work trips. This creates an environment where staff may feel significant pressure to remain active during earned PTO to meet "set-in-stone" expectations. Internal Culture & Professionalism: The workplace environment can feel exclusionary, with internal communications often shifting toward social cliques and personal appearance rather than professional objectives. This "hustle culture" can discourage team collaboration and leads to high levels of burnout. Compensation & Benefit Transparency: There is a lack of clarity regarding realistic bonus attainment rates. Additionally, prospective hires should be aware of restrictive policies regarding the payout of accrued benefits for those who depart before a one-year anniversary. Retention & Performance Management: The company utilizes a high-attrition model with a heavy reliance on standardized performance management tools. This creates a high-pressure atmosphere that can be degrading to long-term morale and does not seem to reflect the mental health values the company promotes externally.

Pros

The engineers, clinicians, product folks are passionate and genuinely care about helping our clients

Cons

From all I’ve seen, the upper management does not prioritize clients, rather profit. If you are an engineer, I would not recommend joining Charlie Health in its current state. That may change down the line, but my experience was volatile and absurdly incompetent from upper leadership. Engineers are not prioritized and frankly seen as disposable. Deep down at Charlie Health there is a great company, and it could one day be a great place to work. But dear lord they need to get their act together first- don’t get caught in the crossfire.
