Pros

The company has an encouraging culture. Flexible, understanding, environment, some good talented employees. Startup like environment. Opportunities. Food is everywhere.

Cons

Releases are a joke. Not true agile than anything else. Clients continuously threaten to walk is when the "A" teams are brought in. Software and ideas are great concepts, but implementation and execution are the downfalls. Consistently counts on the warriors to make up for others. Development teams are not US based. Focus is all in the wrong places. Don't get me wrong, most good middle/first time managers I've worked with have been far superior than many others with multiple folds of experience but they are spending all of their time with their teams on other teams priorities out of necessity. Most senior leadership think they know everything and force us to follow even though presented with consensus showing otherwise. Tried to apply to other positions but did not meet the technical requirements. There are too many meetings. The company has not embraced processes and encourages over communication to the point where it is negatively impacting their productivity.

Pros

- Flexible work hours, work/life balance - "No-blame" attitude. Never been thrown under the bus. We acknowledge mistakes and work toward a positive solution. - Friendly coworkers - Opportunity for growth if you are valuable and are capable of self-advocating

Cons

- Sometimes we wait too long to start a project or don't allot enough time which can cause temporary increased workload - Employee experience is inconsistent, depends on which area you work in

Pros

Across my entire career, there are few things that standout about Wellcentive compared to other places I've worked: 1) The people are very passionate about their work and making a difference in healthcare 2) There are a lot of very talented people in the company 3) The collaborative nature of the employees and camaraderie is awesome 4) The product we are all contributing to is making a difference RIGHT NOW in millions of patients' lives, and has the potential to be the driving force in transforming our healthcare industry for the better. 5) Wellcentive is a true meritocracy. I have never seen a promotion in the company that I thought was political. The people having the biggest impact on the company are recognized by the leadership and tend to get promoted. This is not trivial! Kudos to the leadership team for building a culture based on merit of the employee, not time-served or politics. For these reason, I go home on the vast majority of days feeling very satisfied with my work and in taking a part of this company.

Cons

Startup/growth companies have the goal of growing exponentially fast. Wellcentive is such a company. So, if you join Wellcentive, expect that something like every 2ish years the company will go through a reorganization as part of the scaling process resulting from success and growth. Going from 10 to 40 employees, then to 120, then eventually 250, 500 employees, etc is going to cause growing pains. That's a normal part of company scaling, but sometimes yes it is uncomfortable.
