It's just not worth it - Anonymous employee Sword Health Employee Review

I’m pretty happy a Sword. Great mission and great clients. Like every startup, there’s quirks, but I’ve been able to do well here. Hard work and smarts are rewarded. It’s not for everyone - you have to be ok constantly performing. Slackers don’t last long at Sword. Secondaries have been a nice bonus.

You have to have a thick skin. No one is going to baby you here.

No day is the same which makes work fun and challenging at the same time. I'm constantly learning new things about this industry and how to improve my skillset every day. I think it then comes without saying that if no day is the same, then things are moving very fast, which also comes with it's own set of challenges and frustrations. However when you're not being challenged or forced to step outside of the norm you're likely not growing. There is without a doubt opportunity for growth here at Sword. That said it doesn't come without hard work, exceeding performance expectations and diving into your role at Sword full steam ahead. Given my role on the People Team, I've seen first hand how quickly current employees have received comp increases, promotions, etc. The people I work with, for and in support if are phenomenal. Everyone has a common goal of wanting to see Sword succeed and that often requires close collaboration. I am in constant awe of the innovation an use of AI not only in the Sword platform but how we use it internally to improve processes and increase efficiency.

This culture is not for everyone -- Sword is not a "one size fits all" type of environment. The thing about our culture is you will either love it or hate it but it's also what has made us successful. We are by no means a perfect organization but what I do appreciate is that we learn and adjust. The one thing that is constant here is change. That said if you don't like constant change and the ambiguity that comes with change, then this is likely not the environment for you.
