Pros

Spring Health has a lot of tailwinds at a time when many startups are struggling. There is and incredibly strong sales team growing the business and appetite for the solution within the market. This means there is a lot of potential at Spring Health to grow your career, support a great mission, and grow the company.

Cons

I read the reviews before joining and had a sense of what I was likely getting into, but if you're not used to a very individualistic, and at time combative, culture Spring Health will not be a great fit for you. Of the startups I've been a part of (one of which is at the same scale as Spring) Spring is by the far the most political. Spring also has the unfortunate habit of promoting people and behaviors that perpetuate a culture of shifting blame and seizing wins. To get a sense of this I'd refer you to the infamous insider article (google it). Culture comes from the top and the two co-founders have set an example that many high-performers emulate. In my ~3 months at Spring I've seen both co-founders make comments in public slack channels that nitpick, point blame, and undermine individuals across the organization. As a female myself, it was disheartening to have my first female CEO perpetuate the exact behaviors Spring Health publicly condemns (just look at our blog!) There is so much opportunity to be better and retain talent.

Pros

Definitely some smart and dedicated co workers. Remote work was nice but they are trying to get rid of it too.

Cons

Company tries to be a FAANG without the pay or proper career structure. You are never doing good. Leadership is out to save themselves before anyone else. Quick to pass blame down. It was honestly a very toxic work environment. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone sues the company from how leaders speak to ICs. Poor manager training leads to unprepared managers. There was a first time manager in engineering who had almost everyone on his team quit, never had a single IC under them promoted and the manager still got a hefty promotion. Very clear that company’s priorities are not in the interests of employees.
