Pros

- The people and original company values are what attracted many, including myself, to PicnicHealth initially (patient-centric, open and honest culture, less political than other companies) - Salaries for some roles are above that of similar start-ups - Remote working

Cons

- Leadership is floundering, and it's only getting worse. It is painful to watch so many bright, talented individuals get beat down or burnt out by incompetent leaders. - Decisions are made with an alarming lack of evidence or thought. 1-2 people are ultimately steering the sinking ship. - Company is resistant to learning about how the life sciences sector works, despite this being our primary customer. We cannot 'innovate' our way out of the realities of drug development. - Having a female founder unfortunately does not make PicnicHealth immune to the tech Boys' Club culture. Women will only get anywhere as an agreeable "Yes person".

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspectives here - and apologies for the delayed response. As a current employee, I would welcome the chance to have an open conversation about your concerns and suggested questions - they seem fair and good starting points for reflection in making any company better, including PicnicHealth. I hope that we can demonstrate our continued commitment to what originally attracted you to PicnicHealth.

Pros

Cool tech. Some nice people.

Cons

The culture is awful. I have seen several people in teams get berated by one particular leader. She bashes everyone. Complains others are stupid. Cusses at people
