Pros

it's a fun culture and the people are committed to a worthy mission. you really do have the freedom to try new ideas. if you think of something that the company can do better or that's new, the door is always open. executive leadership reaches out to make sure that their messages are being heard. if you like an environment that is fast paced and things change everyday then healthways is for you. we work hard but we also take time to recharge and get ready to do it all over again. you will be challenged beyond your job title.

Cons

teams don't do a good job of talking to one another and there's a lot of double work. roles are often unclear and we are quick to start up a project without fully thinking it through. the environment is fast paced, which is good but is it always fast paced for the right reasons? we set big goals and sometimes those goals aren't realistic. we have confidence but it tends to be based on what we've done and not what we can point to that's coming up in the pipeline. and while you do have freedom, you don't always have a lot of direction.

Advice to Senior Management

be realistic in the goals you set and don't over promise.
