Pros

Coworker support is probably the best thing to come out of my time here.

Cons

The company listed "Seek Truth Speak Truth" in their company values, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. They took away unlimited PTO, then they dramatically reduced perks like Wellness Benefits, merit raises and time to attend ERG all while quotas (sorry....metrics) went up up up. Middle management started leaving (like rats on the Titanic) and then there first layoff came...then the second. There's a lot of smoke and mirrors being used and it seems the last thing that Headspace is concerned about is their employees mental health...ironic, isn't it? This isn't a company that is about mindfulness...it's about going public and making all they can for the upper echelons of the company. VERY disappointing.

Pros

- consistent pay - decent pay split (depending on degree and state of practice) - easy to fill caseload

Cons

- There has been a lot of instability in the company since the Ginger/Headspace merger. A lot of management has jumped ship, there's been a lot of layoffs, which included eliminating W2 therapist positions in favor of contractor positions to cut benefits, benefit cuts to remaining W2 employees, and more - While they're fairly hands-off, they are very strict about note documentation. It's important for insurance audits, but feels invasive with how frequent internal audits are done.
