Pros
I'm a full-time employee of Solace. Reviews on Glassdoor will come from two parties: either my corporate team or from our team of independent Healthcare Advocates. Solace is truly mission-driven. I feel it in talking with all my colleagues and hearing it from Jeremy, our CEO or the rest of the leadership team. We all believe in making the healthcare system more navigable with the help of an advocate. Overall: *Massive market opportunity. We're in on the ground floor of a major shift in how care is managed and the economic opportunity has incredibly high upside. Equity will hopefully be worth a lot long term. *Pace is fast and so we innovate very quickly. No red tape and easy to get buy-in to experiment and push for success. *Mission, Vision, Values, Tenets and team/individual Goals are clear. We know what we need to do and how to do it. Culture: *"We're intense" means focused on achieving the mission. My coworkers are talented, fun, and easy to collaborate with. Everyone does what it takes to get the job done, *"Anti-meeting culture" just means less meetings, more heads-down for deep work Benefits: *Solid benefits for a scaling startup in year 3 of business, includes 401k match *Remote setup is a huge benefit plus full company offsite 1x per year
Cons
*Company all hands happens at most 1x per month from what I've seen so far. Weekly leadership emails are highly-detailed but dense and a lengthy overall read. *Not a lot of face time with leaders from other departments. It's highly dependent on your own initiative to connect with them with real purpose and if they have bandwidth to meet. *Base compensation is fair and close to median. Competition may provide higher base pay. *Parental leave policy has not been instituted. I've heard it may be shorter than many competitor vc-backed tech companies. *Diversity & inclusion has not been a major topic in my first month here, but I hope that will change. I see some diversity on our team, especially women in leadership. I'd like to hear company commitment to building a diverse team long term. I don't know how we stack up in comparison to the market today.
