Pros

Some talented coworkers Remote work (if applicable)

Cons

The way recent layoffs were handled was incredibly distressing and poorly managed. The company sent a mass email stating that 3% of employees would be laid off, then left people waiting for over an hour—anxiously watching calendars and inboxes—to see if they were “the one.” It was an unnecessarily stressful experience with no transparency or empathy. Those impacted were then corralled into a cold, scripted Zoom meeting with an HR representative. Access to systems was cut immediately, and employees were told to wait and refer to their personal email later in the week for more details. Days passed with no severance information, no clarity on benefits, and no follow-up communication—yet the company somehow prioritized sending a FedEx QR code to return equipment. People were left completely in the blind at a vulnerable moment. The lack of humanity, communication, and basic decency during this process was shocking. Regardless of business needs, there are far more respectful ways to treat employees who have contributed their time and energy to the company. Extremely poor communication No transparency during layoffs Cold, impersonal HR processes Employees treated like liabilities, not people

Pros

This is a real, mission-driven company. I think the best thing is the people - across functions, at every level, you encounter people who are sharp, collaborative, and kind. When you work somewhere whose core purpose is making healthcare more accessible to more people, it makes the work better, even on hard days. Teladoc has been through a rocky couple years (as has industry), but recently it seems like the strategy is clearer, the org is better aligned, and the leadership is more focused. Chuck is a transparent and visible leader (eg town halls, all employee email/memos) and genuinely seems like exactly the right person we need in the seat right now. I appreciate that when there's hard news, it's delivered with context, and when there's good news, it's connected to the stategy (and doesn't feel phony). Benefits are pretty decent. I like that they do gym reimbursement, and free BetterHelp (which is owned by Teladoc).

Cons

There have been tough moments (reorgs, market pressure, strategic pivots) and the pace of change has been hard (likely similar to others in industry), but I appreciate that though all that it seems like management has made a real effort to do right by employees, and be transparent.

Pros

Mission-driven work with genuinely smart, thoughtful people who care deeply about improving healthcare. Opportunity to have outsized impact, especially if you’re comfortable building while flying the plane. Senior leaders are often open to ideas and there’s room to shape functions, systems, and ways of working (if you’re proactive.)

Cons

Frequent reorgs, shifting priorities, and leadership turnover can create change fatigue and ambiguity. Teams operate reactively, which can make long-term planning difficult and create trust gaps across functions. Roles and ownership often feel unclear. High performers often take on significantly expanded scope quickly. Alignment happens late (or, due to not listening to expertise getting provided upfront) - leading to rework, frustration, and time wasted.
