Pros

Decent product but no brand awareness. Potential if the board reconfigure the leadership.

Cons

Really inexperienced leadership team. Typical start-up tech guys playing at being in business and glossing over their mistakes. Too much drama and politics for a company this size, very unprofessional. There are too many bad managers/employees with loyalty cards. Management should stop asking employees for glowing reviews on Glassdoor; it should be an honest feedback.. I agree with the other reviews people drop like fly's, one day they are in and the next they are out. They cannot keep an HR director nor the team. Most 5 star reviews are written by them to try to protect their image. This place is a joke! Look elsewhere.

Thanks for your honest feedback, and we're sorry this was your experience. As a result of our rapid growth, we've definitely felt growing pains. We'll likely continue to have some bumps in the road, because we're not perfect. More importantly though, we care and strive to continually improve. Your specific comments gives us areas to work on, so thank you. We want all comments - positive or negative - to come from a place of honesty. Honesty, respect, communication and willingness to improve - those are pillars of a healthy culture that leads to success. We want to discuss challenges and help find solutions together. Your voice can be a powerful one, so we hope you'll feel more confident to share it in the future - at Onduo or elsewhere. If you still work at Onduo, please know my door is always open. If you've already moved on, thank you again and we wish you the best of luck. For any current employees reading this: always feel free to stop by during my open office hours, give feedback in your weekly 1:1s with managers, participate in 360 evaluations, and join one of the new collaboration groups designed to unite different teams across the organization. Any other ideas? Let's chat. Josh

Pros

Onduo has exciting growth potential in the market, and leadership does a good job of sharing their company vision. There is a lot of open communication in the marketing department, which has been helpful as everyone is working remotely during COVID, and recognition of work well done. Onduo has also upped their benefits package this year so it is competitive with paid time off, tuition reimbursement, parental leave, sick time, etc.

Cons

There can be some long working hours and rush to get things out the door, which is standard for a start-up company.

Thanks! We're excited about the growth potential too -- and what that means for the individuals living with chronic conditions and how we can help them live healthier lives. And appreciate your advice to management. The leadership team continues to listen and respond in formal and informal channels.

Pros

The benefits package is great, fully remote for the time of COVID, your immediate team is strong, the vision is promising and a large financial backing

Cons

There is ALWAYS an ulterior motive for everything. You don’t find it out before it’s too late. Upper level people take your ideas and pretend they were their own (but 3 months later). There is ZERO recognition for the person who actually did the job at hand. The entire company rests in the hand of what we call the Care Team. Priorities are all over the place. We say we want to be the best but in reality we are falling way behind competition. Nothing gets done in a timely fashion. And when something needs to be fixed it take months to get someone to start to think about fixing it. With the company going through a huge transition you would think everything would have been ironed out months ago, but it seems like we are starting the company over again. Falling into very bad habits that were fixed months if not years ago. I understand transitions mean change but it most certainly does not mean to stop communication and improvements. There is zero upwards mobility and when you try to advance your career they pretend to take you seriously for a week and then de prioritized it. I don’t think we have ever had an HR department.

Thank you for taking the time to post your experience with Onduo. The organization completed a major shift in 2020, with the addition of a new CEO and a few additional senior leaders including an HR executive. We take feedback very seriously, including comments about team recognition and priority setting. We believe we have programs in place and in development to help address some of the concerns you mentioned. We would be happy to have an offline conversation if you have specific feedback that we can incorporate for future teams.
