HealthTap Employee Reviews about "mission driven"

Pros

Words that describe working at HealthTap: -Intense -Passionate -Challenging -Rewarding It’s not for everyone- but the amount of growth opportunity, life and career experiences, and incredibly good-hearted people you meet while working at HT are unparalleled. It’s truly a unique place. Bonus being mission driven. Not to mention (both) office locations & fun company culture.

Cons

Obviously going through a major shift at the moment with the change in executive leadership. The transition will take time, but it’s headed in the right direction.

Pros

Everyone in the company is mission driven. It is truly amazing to see how everyone cares about the mission and how committed they are. If you are interviewing for the company, please talk to several people so you can see how aligned everyone is on the mission. People make this place a fun and inspiring place to work at. I enjoy every day of my work here.

Cons

Parking is getting increasingly difficult in Palo Alto downtown. I move my car twice very day which is a headache.

Pros

I've recently had to leave HealthTap for personal family reasons and I wish I could stay. It was by far the best place I've ever works for and the best team I've worked with. The CEO and his executive team are very talented and mission driven and working incredibly hard. It's inspiring to the entire team that's creating high quality products at a rate that is completely unprecedented. I loved working on the product - it's super smart and serves a huge amount of people all over the world. And with some current partnerships, some of the best medical institutions in the world too. I highly recommend the company to anyone who's looking for a great place to work, get compensated well, and do good in the world at scale.

Cons

I love yoga and would have loved more people in the company to be into it and join me to do it

Pros

HealthTap is a great example of the classic fast-paced, mission driven team of super smart people who believe in a bigger cause and are hustling to make their vision a reality, enjoy nice perks with a dog-friendly office and a lot of sunshine, but are super intense about winning and their technology. Whatever you imagine the epitome of being in a Silicon Valley startup, HealthTap is a perfect manifestation of that dream. Being here is FUN. But you have to be made of the right stuff to love it, like the people thriving here.

Cons

The company is evolving quickly. And I have to give it to the leadership team here that it's a lot of juggle and solve for. I think the company can benefit from a few more skilled leaders who can manage and grow teams, especially so there are fewer bottlenecks and constraints.

Pros

Wow. Folks in my team told me that some trolls (probably competitors) are trying to tell false stories about what's really going on at HealthTap- so let me share with you the reality - HealthTap is the real dream job for everyone who's looking for a real Silicon Valley success story of a company that's building value rather than hype. Where else can you find a combination of creating software that impacts hundreds of millions globally, and at the same time work on great products and the latest technology and also have a ton of company sponsored events and outings and lunches and dinners and full health benefits and most importantly, an amazing team, including execs, who are mission driven, always supportive, smart, collaborative and nice. I'm having so much fun every day and that eclipses any hard work that's going into making all of us so successful. It's the real dream job!

Cons

HealthTap doesn't have an office in San Fran. I'd love to move to the city and would love to work from there. I've heard from people around that there are plans to open a satellite office in SF (just like HealthTap did in London recently). It would be a great perk to work from London for a bit too :)

Pros

This is the best company in Silicon Valley if you're looking to do something very meaningful and grow personally and professionally. The values of the company that you can easily find by just googling "vision and credo" are upheld closely, and the team member are awesome and very collaborative and nice. The leadership team has been around in the industry for a long time and his highly respected everywhere. The company is constantly growing and moving fast forward, but also takes care of employees on all fronts. There are mentors in all levels, the compensation is fair, the value of the company is increasing all the time, and they give us all the perks that the best startups in Silicon Valley give. But most importantly, it's really mission driven and helps millions all over the world in a very significant way - which is truly inspiring and motivating. Knowing that the work I'm doing is saving lives every day is the very very motivating and cool.

Cons

We do work longer hours, but this is typical of a Silicon Valley company, and everyone knows about it when they join. Also, the longer hours are not mandatory - it's more about delivering great results with whatever it takes to accomplish it.

Pros

My first ever truly mission driven company. Everyone is so excited about doing good and helping others (both users and other team members). The team is the best I've ever worked with. People are so smart and nice. Ron Gutman the CEO is a real leader. He will take the company public, and make it a huge global force. He spent 2 hours with me past midnight to talk about things that I wanted to share with him, and then went and improved things given the feedback I gave him. The new product is game changing and the new office is world class.

Cons

Working longer hours than in your typical 9-6 job.

Pros

I've lived in Silicon Valley for several years and had always wanted to work at a startup. I get a thrill off of new challenges and opportunities for growth, and I believe startups can offer that, and then some. So far, my experience has been what I was looking for. Not only do I get to learn something new everyday, I am getting opportunities to work on projects that are expanding my knowledge base and providing me with a new set of skills. The best part? I work for an organization that is mission driven and is full of people that are working hard to change the word. REALLY CHANGE THE WORLD. It is not an east task and it’s amazing to see how committed and passionate everyone is around here. Some people want to change the world, some of us actually get to do it!

Cons

Long hours, if you consider that a con. I knew coming in that the opportunity would entail long hours to get the job done, and I was comfortable with that. Though, I’ve found the company to be flexible enough that I’ve been able to work around the long hours and still have a life outside of work, spend time with my loved ones and even go to the gym 4-5 times a week. We are also moving fast and our lines of communication could be improved. Though, I’ve worked full-time for over a decade and I’ve seen communication needing improvement everywhere, from big to small companies, fortune 500s to family owned. To turn a con to a pro, I also want to tackle improving that! In summary, the GLASS will only be empty if you choose to see it that way. It is up to each individual to make the most of what they have. Startup life is NOT for everyone so if you rather stick to standard work hours, be provided with all the information you need to get the job done, and have the type of structured job that doesn’t stretch you, then this may not be right for you at this time. Startups can’t be startups for life and processes and improvements come from time, experience and a better understanding of what’s in front of you.
