Pros

The mission COULD be great. Some of the most talented co-workers in the Valley that end up being your best friends. Have the opportunity to learn a lot and quickly...at least at first.

Cons

Like many other reviews say: long hours, terrible (WAY below market value) pay, poor upper management w/ egos that are preventing the product from advancing forward, deals from being closed, and you most certainly will not get those bonuses that are written in those shady contracts you sign (doctors, employees, and partners alike). If you find a mentor that likes you or who at least recognizes your talent, you may do okay here...at least for a little while (but be careful who you trust, because at the end of the day the people at the top will do anything - and I mean ANYTHING to protect themselves and the company - no matter what you've done for them professionally or personally. Fabricated data, false promises, lack of follow through and execution is the way this place operates. Watch for red flags if you are considering joining this place or partnering. Publicly posting and saying that Trust and Transparency are company values is laughable and should be a crime. Do your due diligence and ask the right questions and explore EVERYTHING (including the product). It has the potential to be great, but some things certainly need to change for that to happen. Trust your gut.

Thanks for your interest in HealthTap, helping millions live healthier, happier, longer lives. We want you to have an accurate picture of what it's like to work here, and one that’s based on data and facts (rather than the misleading assertions above). We don't have set hours, but our core business hours are Monday through Friday 9:30 - 6:30, and working late or on weekends is not required. We do recognize and reward employees who choose to “walk the extra mile” and voluntarily elect to work beyond the core hours, but it’s not mandated. At HealthTap we passionately believe that it’s all about the output and the measurable results, not about the input. We encourage our employees to accomplish the targets and goals they’ve willingly taken on themselves, so they don’t feel they need to work beyond business hours. This is why we will continue to foster a healthy sense of urgency that helps our team focus on what matters to deliver the desired results that are changing the world for the better. To make sure we're on top of market changes, HealthTap now reviews compensation in relation to market trends regularly. Individual salaries are also re-evaluated in connection with reviews. Where offers include discretionary bonus compensation, it is our goal to help employees achieve success and to pay out 100 percent of bonuses when earned by measurable results. We're happy to report that last year more than 90% of our bonuses were paid in full (following a formal review process). Beyond base pay, our benefits package is among of the most generous and comprehensive of any startup. We also provide valuable stock options, fully funded healthcare (medical, dental and vision), subsidized gym memberships, catered meals (lunch and dinner), a 401K plan, weekly in-office massages, healthy snacks, and much more. Beyond these benefits, we also provide the opportunity to work, learn from, and grow professionally alongside some of the best peers in their fields, and provide internal leadership and individual growth opportunists to employees. We measure our success, and other measure us by delivering on our promises, to ourselves and to our partners, with accurate and independently verifiable data, and a consistent discipline of rigorous follow-through. It’s how we’ve secured some of the best partners and investors in the world. Executing on the promises we make to our partners and customers is what keeps these partnerships strong, year in and year out. Lastly, our values are trust and transparency are an integral part of our everyday work life and culture. Each week we host an all-hands meeting where any question about the company is welcome publically. We also use our business weekly meetings to share highly confidential information with our team. Anyone can ask their manager any question at any time, and no question goes unanswered. This culture keeps everyone well informed of our rapid progress and our successful global partnerships, our widely used products, and the most important developments and leading edge innovation. At our weekly team meetings we also share data across the company and with all teams. We do this so that we are all on the same page regarding where we stand and what we need to do to achieve our goals. We don't have to share as much as we do, and most companies wouldn't divulge this much information outside of senior management. But we believe it keeps our team motivated about our shared goals. You're invited to visit HealthTap to speak with our employees directly and experience our culture and values first hand – please contact us and we’ll arrange a visit at your convenience. Real people and tangible experiences are the best representation of who we really are.

Pros

Great product, lots of interesting deals in the works that will propel the company forward. Current leadership seems to have a good grasp on things. Pay is good, wlb is better than most.

Cons

There could be more HR initiatives, but that can also be a pro at times.

Pros

In my role, I work one on one with the CEO. I want to stress what a inspirational leader he is. It is a lot of hard work, but whenever I feel overwhelmed, Ron is supportive helping me strike a good work/life balance. He has an 'open-door' policy that many CEOs wouldn't even consider, where any employee can talk to him about issues they are having, which is great and truly lives up to the openness and transparency value. The people I work with are amazing, and I count many of then as close friends. Being surrounded by such positive energy and brilliant people from such diverse backgrounds makes me excited to come to work everyday. I enjoy spending time with them in the office, but also love our excursions to Santa Cruz to surf or going on coffee runs. We have cool perks and a fun culture. Part of my job is planning company events like picnics (we have the best griller!) and company movie nights. We also always have a plethora of yummy and healthy snacks. One of my favorite perks is the subsidized gym membership. It's great to take a break to go work out and come back to the office feeling energized.

Cons

-Not enough office space...we are constantly having to conduct interviews outside or taking calls in the hallway. -Good communication can often be an issue in a fast-paced environment. -Personally, I'm not a fan of the open office space. I find that I often get distracted.
