Pros

* Employees across the board are smart, compassionate, fun, and inspiring to work with * HR and colleagues treats you like a real adult human -- you manage your own PTO and are encouraged to take time off to recharge, take care of family, etc * Super impactful work -- every product is geared towards creating the most positive impact for patients in our broken healthcare system * Flexible, remote first system. Most teams are distributed across the US with no expectation of returning to office * Beautiful NYC office with free lunches and great snacks. Close to good dim sum, Ghostbusters headquarters, and downtown attractions. Easy commute from subway (A/C/E subway station drops you off inside the building directly - no need to go outside during the winter)

Cons

If you haven't worked at a startup before, you may not be used to the workload. While manageable, most employees have a lot of highly visible responsibilities. This is fun and great for personal growth, but not may not be for everyone

Pros

People here are truly smart and kind, very mission driven vibe. Managers care about your growth. Pretty cutting edge in terms of agentic tooling and AI use, but also overall mindful. Work is interesting and validating.

Cons

Struggles with product market fit, Epic headwind is real.

Pros

Incredibly talented, smart people. Mission driven work. High ownership environment- good place to stretch quickly

Cons

Cedar has strong talent and an important mission, but ongoing strategic changes and leadership inconsistency make it a difficult place to do sustained, high quality work Company direction is extremely uncertain and shifts frequently (about every 6 months), which makes it hard to see initiatives through . These shifts often happen without clear follow through or measurable outcomes Leadership alignment appears inconsistent - which leads to constant reprioritization and confusion on what actually matters Decision making is slow and often unclear from leadership, causing unnecessary swirl rather than forward progress Attrition is a problem right now with most roles not being backfilled. Also several silent layoffs have happened recently which has negatively impacted morale and trust. Leadership still expects high performance, but is doing nothing to address morale or to incentivize sustained performance Favoritism is rampant in some departments, affecting visibility and promotion outcomes - performance alone does not always drive advancement making it feel non-meritocratic Significant executive turnover over the past 1.5 years, which contributes to the broader sense of instability. I would ask about this if I were interviewing at cedar
