Pros

The free coke machine, foosball table, and ping pong table were nice. Oh, and I enjoyed the standing desks and lower frequency of meetings.

Cons

Some senior developers are stuck in the past. They want to embed JSTL code deep within .TAG within .TAG within .TAG for no apparent reason. If it's not being re-used, why not just code everything in the .JST? It made no sense and when I went against the standard I was talked poorly about behind my back to anyone with an ear. Eventually enough ears took notice and I was released from my position due to "lack of work". They did not once approach me to discuss any areas of improvement -- after speaking to another employee, he told me he was "scared to be fired every single day" -- which is a sentiment I heard often, especially after they lay off groups of 4-5 people at a time every few months. There's absolutely no job security with Sharecare and the management staff does nothing to help cultivate the behavior they want to see within their own team.

Pros

Great team and benefits enable personal growth

Cons

The foundation model for their business is flawed, giving members points for being healthy is great, but often times having members take advantage of the remote aspect of the role, being rude and not following company requirements. Sharecare doesn't nullify or prevent this, causing coaches to be burdened with both angry carriers and requirements from the company. All while stressing about the metrics. Add in not fully explained job requirements until 6 months, where you are handling up to 80 calls in a day. With managers that do little to help mental and day you just need to be better.
