Pros

- Cofounder/chief growth officer - Chief operating officer - Head of Pharmacy - Almost everyone at Workpath - Lots of Modern Fertility - Leadership of weight management team - Clinicians who focused on mental health - One-fifth of the company - Anyone else who was able to escape before this company's future went from promising to abysmal.

Cons

Google the phrase "sorry you feel that way," and the first page of results are all about gaslighting and non-apologies. Now scroll through the People Team's replies to negative Glassdoor reviews since the company started tanking in 2022, and see if you can pick up on a pattern. That's exactly the sort of culture to expect at Ro. Polished and professional on the surface, but incredibly immature and toxic once you pause to take another look. Make no mistake, the immaturity stems from the top, and affects employees at every level. At some point in the first half of 2022, Ro's talented employees began working out of fear of losing their job, rather than out of love for the mission. No wonder the turnover is so high! But hey...sorry you feel that way.

Ro Response

At work and in life, it’s natural for people to come at things from different perspectives. We all have different access to information/context as well as unique insights and life experiences that shape the way we interpret the world around us. While we understand that not everyone will see things the same way, our intent in these responses is simply to acknowledge that we’ve seen the feedback, provide additional context when possible and to offer to speak directly. Sometimes there is feedback provided that we take to heart and other times we may see things differently - but regardless, we truly are sorry to hear it when someone leaves feeling badly. Our turnover remains lower than broader market benchmarks and we are incredibly thankful for the candid feedback we get regularly, through our employee surveys, conversations with Ro’ers and our people managers. The team here has never shied away from sharing how they feel and it has and will continue to help us evolve and shape the work environment at Ro in very tangible ways - everything from our compensation programs to our work-life benefits to our recognition platforms have come directly from employee feedback. If you’d like to talk further, feel free to reach out to people@ro.co and we’d be happy to chat.
