Pros

Wonderful mission - to make the world a happier place. We need more companies with missions like these. Also Andy is a fantastic guy. He really is like he sounds and his translation of Buddhist teachings into palatable modern day culture are fantastic.

Cons

The other co founder doesn't embody the values of the company. He is basically interested in himself and the status of building a large company, that could have been selling anything. He's very good at branding but is not authentic.

Pros

- consistent pay - decent pay split (depending on degree and state of practice) - easy to fill caseload

Cons

- There has been a lot of instability in the company since the Ginger/Headspace merger. A lot of management has jumped ship, there's been a lot of layoffs, which included eliminating W2 therapist positions in favor of contractor positions to cut benefits, benefit cuts to remaining W2 employees, and more - While they're fairly hands-off, they are very strict about note documentation. It's important for insurance audits, but feels invasive with how frequent internal audits are done.
