Pros
Most of my peers at SonderMind were genuine and hardworking. They truly cared about each other and improving access to mental health care.
Cons
Senior leadership was very disconnected from the day-to-day employee experience and challenges. Many of my peers were working long hours, burnt out, and anxious which is concerning for a company focused on mental health. I saw employees expressing this to senior leadership and not receiving empathy or understanding in return. I did not see leadership address any of these concerns and instead many talented people decided to leave. There were not any diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and employees who brought forward ideas in this space were not supported. I do not recommend Sondermind to people of color or anyone from an underrepresented group. Diversity is not a priority and senior leadership did not show any desire to change this during my time there.
