Pros

- good salary and benefits - very smart engineers and hard workers - some good managers and executives - some genuinely great people

Cons

At the time I was at the company, these were the cons: - frequent layoffs and turnover - many bad engineering executives and managers. Some seemed to just sit in meetings all day and do nothing to justify their salaries. Many had no healthcare experience and lacked domain knowledge, in addition to ideas or vision. If you are an executive in engineering in a startup company you need to be able to wear different hats and think of things from a product perspective. - Lots of engineering talent wasted essentially doing different permutations of the same project over years - not enough projects to work on to make use of engineering talent - managers ignored requests from workers to contribute to other parts of engineering department

Pros

I'm six months into my role in Strategic Finance at Iterative Health and couldn't be happier with the experience. The team is talented and collaborative, the culture is energizing, and the company's mission makes the work genuinely meaningful. What's stood out most is the level of ownership and impact I've had from day one — this is a place where you can really shape processes and systems, not just maintain them. The challenge is real, and so is the support. The compensation is competitive, and the benefits package — including PTO, retirement, and maternity leave — reflects a company that genuinely prioritizes its people. Highly recommend Iterative Health to anyone looking for a mission-driven, high-impact role.

Cons

Some benefit providers are very start up feel and not as user-friendly.

Pros

Opportunity to work on impactful projects and build processes in a growing company. Exposure to many aspects of the business due to the rapid growth and evolving structure. Colleagues across teams are generally collaborative and committed to moving the organization forward. Good opportunity for people who enjoy building, problem solving, and working in an entrepreneurial environment. Competitive benefits and solid perks for employees.

Cons

The pace is extremely fast and workloads can be very heavy, particularly as the organization continues to grow. Processes and infrastructure are still evolving, which can require teams to adapt quickly. Priorities can shift frequently as the company scales, which can make long-term planning challenging.
