Pros
Mission of improving quality of life for geriatric patients with functional and cognitive impairments is a noble and high impact one (Medicare cost to GDP)
Quite simply put, everyone at the company has been wonderful - easy and collaborative to work with
Strong growth in business metrics
Cons
Early stages of the company (first half of 2021) saw some pivots as the company was iterating on product-market fit (standard for Series A company) but since then it's been fairly stable in strategy and direction

We’re so glad to hear how much our mission resonates and that you’ve enjoyed working with your colleagues. As you said, we’ve really found product-market fit with our high-impact care model and are so excited for what’s to come.
Nice patients, flexible schedule, made close friends
Cons
The company was so focused on DEI that the actual work was placed on the back burner. They focused on only recruiting people of color and LGBTQ instead of hiring the people who were most qualified. The "people team" would send out memos titled "what's up with white people?" Juneteenth was a work holiday but not Easter. 🤷♀️ I guess their philosophy didn't work out because the business went bankrupt and closed.
