Elysium Health Reviews

Pros

I liked the mission of the company.

Cons

The key reason I quit was the long hours. Both, the management, and the team were overeager. I didn't sign up for so much work. I looked for another job and thankfully got one. You should avoid it if you can.

Pros

Learning and growth: Management allows you to take on as much responsibility and new projects as you desire. Elysium is a tight-knit team with so much opportunity to grow / expand. I have witnessed colleagues across all levels of the organization propose initiatives and drive the execution, resulting in tremendous impact for the company as well as their personal careers. **This is especially rewarding given the level of science and innovation behind Elysium’s products and our immense opportunity to improve consumers’ lives.** It’s an exciting, fast-paced environment!. Those who are proactive are recognized for their contributions.

Cons

While start-ups are incredibly interesting, they also require a lot of work and collaboration in order to bring the vision to market. As others have mentioned, the team had pockets of poor communication during expansion. However management has focused attention on improving communication through: 1) increased frequency of town halls, 2) the company hosts weekly performance meetings followed by a virtual “happy hour”, and 3) all team members are active on slack and email - which has made the current shift to working from home relatively seamless.

Pros

The mission of the company was something I could relate to

Cons

The main issue of this workplace was long hours that most employees put in. Added to that, the challenges faced by a typical startup made everything worse. I will not recommend this employer to anyone!

Pros

I searched for a company like Elysium for years - the company's mission closely matches my personal mission to improve the quality of life for people so having the opportunity to do a job every day that aligns with my values and purpose in life is a privilege. Additionally, employees at Elysium have an unparalleled opportunity to work with the best scientists and institutions to improve human health. The company's commitment to scientific research and quality also means that you can trust that the products are effective and safe - my entire family takes Basis and will soon take Matter. When I meet new people and I tell them about the work that I do, they're always incredibly impressed with how fulfilling and exciting my job is and, very likely, jealous.

Cons

As with any startup, establishing a work-life balance can be hard. This is especially true at Elysium because the mission is so important and every employee has a unique opportunity and responsibility to meet the goal of helping people lead healthier lives.

Pros

- Learned a lot... about what I do not want in a workplace - Grateful to the office snake plants and emotional support dogs - Work could be rewarding at times

Cons

At first you'll most certainly be reeled in by the mission, but within weeks of working here the toxic culture becomes glaringly evident. Just a few examples: - Wave goodbye to your work/life balance. You'll be expected to arrive early and stay super late to say nothing of whether you're actually meaningfully working. - Wave hello to nepotism. Questionable roster of VPs overtly lacking in proven leadership savvy and experience, at least one of which was hired without undergoing the interview process. - Teetotalers and lightweights need not apply. Heavy alcohol drinking is on the menu and very much encouraged. Mustn't say "no" to the shot. - Start, stop, repeat. Too many failed projects to name, despite countless meetings plus hours and dollars spent. Projects frequently halted with little or no clear explanation much less a "thank you for your hard work." - About that work/life balance again. Employees are allowed THREE wfh days per calendar year. - High school all over again. Complete with exclusive cliques, gossiping, rude insults, and openly dismissing other employee's opinions and ideas - all from the top down. - In this episode of Fear Tactics: Leadership known to coerce employees into writing positive Glassdoor reviews PLUS employees routinely fired without a blip on the radar or so much as a "sorry everyone we had to let [name] go." - Beaucoup legal woes. Google it.

Pros

Good pay and benefits and a lot more perks including bringing your pet in the office.

Cons

The pressure on the job is extremely high , you are expected to perform and be your best all the time, in every working day of your life. There's no excuse not to or it will cost you your job.
