Grand Illusion - Managing Director Redesign Health Employee Review

smart people and get to solve interesting problems

Less clear if culture would be a good fit

The biggest pro of Redesign Health was leaving - Each day at Redesign Health progressively wore down my wellbeing and passion for my work. From the questionable business partnerships that seemed misaligned with positive impact, to the extraordinarily toxic culture and leadership that consistently demonstrated incompetence, greed, and complete disregard for employees, I would not wish this experience on anyone. While working here, I dreaded going to bed at night because I couldn't bear the thought of waking up and facing another day at this company. You will take on the responsibilities of at least three roles without any support, resources, or grace for the impossible workload—and zero increase in compensation. With each person (except for leadership) juggling 3+ jobs, you are forced to learn a lot very quickly. It is not healthy or sustainable, but I cannot deny how much experience was forced upon me. I learned how to work in an environment with zero psychological safety.

Layoffs are more common than raises or recognition Leadership shows zero grace or understanding for employee challenges All meaningful perks have been systematically eliminated You will be doing 3 people's jobs and criticized when you inevitably can't do them all perfectly The CEO's management style completely lacks empathy or emotional intelligence Your mental health will deteriorate significantly
