I have been working at Accolade full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Literally say this to my friends, family, and professional/academic colleagues all the time: Accolade is without a doubt the COOLEST company I've ever worked for!!! Why? The culture is at the top of the list of things that are cherished which trickles down to everything we do. Whether boldly reinventing healthcare with our innovative listening paths (how employees provide their thoughts/feelings/ideas) and technologies (mobile apps, internal software, etc.) or our selflessly serving others (tons of volunteer days, spirit team activities, fun) and specifically our northern star of TRUST (Leaders are always accessible as there are NO offices and therefore NO closed doors at any time).
Cons
Sometimes our relentless reinvention and rolling up our sleeves mentality throws people off as change is never easy. The grass isn't always greener on the other side having worked for organizations where even a drop of movement/change/envelop pushing was like squeezing honey from a stone. At Accolade you are never bored- it's busy busy busy, but you have to enjoy that kind of passionate drive to be successful here.
Advice to Management
Keep on being yourselves- no one needs to pretend to be someone they are not here, and that genuine/down-to-earth mentality which allows us to work with you without fear and actually empowers us to want to model your Leadership goes a VERY long way.
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Accolade.
Interview
Lengthy: which was actually impressive given the fact that they care a LOT about who they are hiring and do not rush to make the wrong decision. I enjoyed meeting a variety of folks - some I'd be working with more heavily and others not so much, but that everyone who connected to the work I'd be doing was involved in the ultimate decision to hire.
