Pros

Getting to work from home

Cons

Working at Hims & Hers was, the lowest point in my professional journey. Before joining, I prided myself on my resilience, passion for my career, and self-assurance. However, the toxic environment at this company shattered my mental health, leaving me with depression and anxiety. The thought of interviewing elsewhere fills me with such dread that I often cancel, feeling utterly unworthy. The culture here is governed by strong personalities, with leadership's egos obstructing real progress. Rather than addressing processes that require improvement, these leaders target individualism, fostering a culture of blame and fear. This has created an environment where the blame is disproportionately placed on entry-level or front-line employees for the systemic issues, absolving senior management of any responsibility, Promotion and career advancement are not merit-based but contingent on whether you are a favorite with senior leadership. If you're in the inner circle, opportunities are abundant. Conversely, if you find yourself out of favor, your days at the company are numbered, regardless of your contributions or potential. The experience has been a profound session on the importance of a supportive and healthy work environment. I caution anyone considering a position at Hims & Hers to think carefully about its impact on your mental health and overall well-being.

Pros

High-impact work with exceptional people. Hims gives you the opportunity to solve meaningful operational problems at scale. The pace is fast, the company is growing quickly, and you'll work alongside many talented operators who genuinely care about building something great. If you're someone who likes ambiguity and enjoys creating structure where none exists, you'll find plenty of opportunities to make an impact. There is also significant autonomy if you're willing to own problems and move quickly.

Cons

Decision-making and organizational alignment can lag behind the company's operational ambitions. There were times where ownership between HR, other HR functions, and Operations wasn't clearly defined, making it difficult to fully implement workforce strategies. Strong ideas and data-driven recommendations sometimes struggled to gain traction because priorities shifted or functions weren't aligned. As the organization continues to mature, clearer accountability and stronger cross-functional operating models would improve execution significantly. The HR organization was still maturing. As responsibilities expanded, ownership became increasingly centralized, but execution didn't always keep pace. This created situations where decisions crossed multiple functions without clear accountability, leading to rework, slower execution, and frustration for business partners.
