      Pros

      Great talent and hiring. Myself and my colleagues were mostly treated with kindness and respect. Onboarding was smooth. They worked hard to make the culture good with lunch groups and activities. There's fairly good connectivity for being a remote company.

      Cons

      1. There is a tight and small circle of trust among the leadership team, and it lacks experience or maturity. The Leadership Team is more interested in handcrafting the company (building rules and procedures, or “playing” corporate) than making the product better. For example at the company offsite, the LT spent 2 hours role playing the dangers of “gossiping” in the work place but did not reveal any pertinent updates, wins or future plans. Leadership is very concerned with the wrong things. ...... 2. The CEO is resistant to the experts around him. He often contradicts himself and refuses to offload responsibility. It's a sign that he's playing too many roles, many which he is unqualified to do. There is an inborn skepticism for all new hires, as if the CEO/subsequent leaders do not trust that employees have the company's best interests in mind. It's an unfortunate leadership style and inevitably drives attrition. Turnover is in fact high, but much of it is due to firing (which tells you where the problem lies). ..... 3. I have worked at many successful startups and Garner is by far the most bureaucratic. You are constantly met with red tape, making it hard to do your job well. No company will function optimally with this model, especially in an alleged "high growth" stage. Take your talents where you’ll be best able to use them and build. Other startups are looking to grow, rather than simmer.

      Pros

      Working at Garner Health as a software engineer was a fantastic experience. Two things really set this company apart: the mission and the people. First, the mission is genuinely impactful. It’s incredibly motivating to come to work every day knowing that the code you are writing directly helps people find high-quality, affordable healthcare. Second, the talent level across the engineering team is top-notch. I was constantly surrounded by smart, driven, and collaborative engineers who raised the bar and helped me grow technically. The culture is highly supportive, ownership is encouraged, and there is a real focus on building things the right way.

      Cons

      Like any fast-growing company, things move quickly and priorities can shift. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity and adaptable to change. These transitions could be handled better with clearer communication.

      Pros

      -A lot has changed at Garner in the last several years, for the better. There used to be a huge culture of micromanagement from the top down, and now that we’ve grown larger that has shifted -High value product with a ton of growth potential that’s actually making a difference -really great peers who are ambitious and mission-driven -good salaries -lots of opportunity if you like to build and iterate -interesting ever changing work -management that really cares about me

      Cons

      Your experience at Garner really depends on your department. Some work you to the bone, some have weak leadership, others are great. Working directly with the CEO is tough as he is more of a micromanager. My team doesn’t happen to have that issue or a work life balance issue so much, so my experience has generally been good. - low diversity, likes to recruit from consulting firms too much -if you aren’t efficient or don’t use the tools available, work life balance will suffer
