Pros

My team members that are on the ground doing the work are absolutely incredible. They are brilliant, kind, supportive, and mission driven. The mission is something to strive for and be proud of.

Cons

Take all positive reviews with a grain of salt, as leadership is currently offering a reward to people who share positive reviews and then submit screenshots. Unfortunately, leadership does not demonstrate the company values, or drive decision making in a way that makes the mission actionable. I have experienced multiple instances of gaslighting and micromanaging that does nothing but burn brilliant employees out. Decisions are made, approved, and then revoked with no explanation. I have been told explicitly that if an intervention doesn’t directly drive profit then it’s not an outcome leadership cares about even if it will have positive impacts on clinical quality. And no one stays long enough to build a positive work culture. People are afraid of the CEO because she will tear you apart for the smallest reason. And if there isn’t something obviously wrong she will make something up to nitpick.

Pros

None. They hire strong recruiters but then push them out. Thats it.

Cons

Every poor review about the GTM recruiting team is 100% accurate. Please read them. This team operates in a highly toxic, high-pressure environment with unrealistic expectations and little regard for work-life balance. There is a consistent culture of fear tied to performance and metrics. Management over this team often relies on intimidation rather than support, with frequent micromanagement and a tendency to undermine even strong, experienced recruiters. Performance improvement plans are HEAVILY normalized which contributes to a constant sense of instability. Turnover is extremely high year over year, with many strong employees leaving or being pushed out due to the environment and leadership style. Overall, it is not a team I would EVER recommend working for.
