Pros

There are no pros to this company.

Cons

The people at this company have no idea what they are doing! People believe that they have good intentions, because the CEO is charismatic, but it’s all a show. The company is basically run by the HR department, that knows nothing about healthcare. This is the largest HR department I’ve ever seen at a company. I saw more firings, and lay-offs than any other company as well. They will probably change it if they see this review, but if you look at the Meet the Team picture on the website, more than half of the people do not work there anymore, and that is less than a year ago. They’ve even changed their name 3 times since starting. I honestly think this company won’t be around very long.

Lightyear Health Response

Thanks for the candid feedback. The last year and a half have seen a lot of exciting developments for Lightyear Health as we refined our care model and the team structures that support it. As with many early-stage companies – especially healthcare startups – it often takes a few iterations to find the best path forward, and the growing pains that come with that can be challenging. We’re sorry that this was the case for you. We do want to clarify that our leadership team is always collaborative when making significant decisions; there is no single department that “runs'' the company. We believe that joining a mission-driven startup like ours means one has to be excited about staying nimble, using data to make real-time decisions, and leaning into change when it serves the broader good. This is very different from many clinical settings and may not be for everyone – and that’s okay! We sincerely hope your next chapter is better suited to what you’re looking for.

Pros

Nice patients, flexible schedule, made close friends

Cons

The company was so focused on DEI that the actual work was placed on the back burner. They focused on only recruiting people of color and LGBTQ instead of hiring the people who were most qualified. The "people team" would send out memos titled "what's up with white people?" Juneteenth was a work holiday but not Easter. 🤷‍♀️ I guess their philosophy didn't work out because the business went bankrupt and closed.
