Pros

You get to work with very smart people.

Cons

The culture is the worst I've experienced in my career. From the top leadership has set a culture of blame, manipulation, and fear. I've heard our Chief People Officer describe the justification why leadership wants names assigned to major initiatives as "April wants to know whose necks to strangle". You can see how this accepted way of speaking should raise alarms about Spring Health's culture. This is especially true since we are is a mental health company. This top down culture has created an environment where people look to point blame, manipulate, and gaslight others in an attempt to elevate themselves and avoid the repercussions of issues that might get associated back to them.

Thank you for taking the time to share your personal experience. Though we usually devote our time and energy to analyzing employee feedback shared in our regular surveys and internal conversations, it is important that we reply here to 1) recognize our own growth opportunities as a company and 2) explicitly clarify the false attributions made about a member of our leadership team, as the quote provided here is completely inaccurate. Our company culture and employee experiences are a top priority at Spring Health; however, we also realize that we are not perfect and will continue to listen, learn, and invest in creating a culture in which our team members can thrive. Additionally, we have some work to do to reverse ingrained perceptions of blame at Spring Health. There is no question it starts with C-Suite. Our co-founders and entire executive team own this. For a company like ours whose mission is centered around the mental health of our millions of members, including our own team members, it’s essential for us to get this right. I encourage you to stop by our next Ask Me Anything, hosted by our CPO, so you can learn why performance and accountability matter to Spring Health, and how this will actually help to enhance our culture. Or, you can reach out to your People Business Partner – we’d appreciate the opportunity to better understand your experience and where blame and accountability are showing up. - Sr. Director of Employee Experience

Pros

Many talented people trying to do good work, that I wish I could have worked with for longer. Good compensation and benefits. The company mission is admirable, even if it isn't realistic.

Cons

Disregard the negative Glassdoor reviews at your own risk. So many reviews over these past few months could have been written by me, but weren't. A company that was sincere about its mission, and being mission-based, would understand the importance of mental health for those who work to make the mission a reality - the employees. If you are sincere in your passion for mental health, and value maintaining your own, do not be surprised if the culture spits you back out.

Pros

Good pay. If you play by the rules and build your connections there, you get promoted quickly (by merit or not).

Cons

The senior technical leadership is like a revolving door there, and the eng culture is competitive and quite toxic.
