Pros

Some co-workers are great to work with. The mission is meaningful - helping people with various underlying health conditions is purposeful. 100% remote which is nice.

Cons

Where to begin? First and foremost things at Carrum are chaotic. Work gets chucked over the fence to various teams, everything is a priority and needs done yesterday. The systems and processes are severely lacking making most work manual and repetitive. Deadlines are so pressed work is often not reviewed. Simple asks/tasks take an extensive amount of time because the company will not properly staff up it's departments. This translates to late nights, weekends, holidays - whatever it takes to meet these deadlines with little to no support. What's worse is they won't invest in streamlining various workflows in order to complete these asks in a timely fashion. Probably the most concerning part about Carrum is the leadership. There has been a significant amount of turnover at the C suite level within the past year. CFO stepped down CTO left CCO (chief commercial officer) left What's also concerning is glassdoor ratings are a KPI which impacts bonus - hence why there's not an abundance of negative reviews - most people don't want to negatively impact the bonus potential of the existing employee base. Leadership leaves little to no room for employees to bring their own ideas to the table. If you're a "yes man" you'll fit right in. Otherwise be prepared for C suite level leadership to micromanage your work and insist you do what they want, the way they want it - with little to no input from you at all.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your perspective. We appreciate your honest feedback and are glad to hear that you’ve found meaning in our mission and enjoy working with your teammates. We recognize that many teams are carrying heavy workloads right now. We’re actively working through our internal planning process to approve additional roles for the remainder of the year, ensuring appropriate staffing and support where it’s most needed. At Carrum, we’re constantly balancing our goals of growth and achieving financial sustainability. We know this sometimes leads to tough trade-offs, and we’re committed to doing our best to navigate these thoughtfully and transparently. As we continue to grow through different phases of a company’s lifecycle, our leadership team will need to evolve, and we will continue to communicate candidly about these transitions in All Hands. We deeply value the contributions of every leader and Carrumite who’s helped shape Carrum to date. We’re confident in the team we have in place and their commitment to our mission, our people, and our future. We also want to clarify that while we do track Glassdoor ratings as an OKR — because they’re one of several important signals of employee experience — they are not in any way tied to bonuses. As shared in our FY’25 bonus plan (which is available to all employees), bonus criteria are based on company and individual performance, not Glassdoor reviews. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome the chance to better understand your experience and suggestions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to the People team at hr@carrumhealth.com. — Jessica Mowry, VP of People

Pros

Work from home and flexible work schedule.

Cons

As the company rapidly grew, they lost sight and control of employee satisfaction. The interpersonal relationships were hollow and fabricated. It is clear certain teams hired based off of favoritism. Not a place to thrive if you are BIPOC.
