Pros

Some bright engineers who are fun to work with

Cons

Some of management is brutal. With unfair expectations that range from unethical to borderline illegal. Depending on your manager you can expect regular phone calls to help fix things late at night, little respect for your personal time, perpetual last minute meetings that are often cancelled. It's a nightmare. They'll tell you that the lower pay is because of job security and that the stock is great. Try signing on at $335 a share and selling at $18. As for the job security? Nope. You should expect a cold hearted phone call while you're driving your kids to school or walking your dog. The actual tech is garbage. Microservices have been largely implemented in ways that aren't maintainable, with design patterns mixed up left and right. There's multiple frameworks in every project that all accomplish the same thing so it's just a mess trying to work with it. It doesn't matter which team you're on, you will work with a project like this. Many newer technologies are being abandoned for legacy tech and hiring has been frozen in most countries other than ones where the dollar is cheap...if that doesn't give you a clear picture of where this company is at then I don't know what to tell you.

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.
