Pros
Working in an environment that challenges me as a professional and for a company with a mission I can be proud of are very important to me, and being a Sharecare employee checks both of those boxes. Having been with Sharecare for greater than a decade (I work for a division that was acquired in 2016), I can't think of a time during my tenure where I was not both encouraged and supported to achieve that "next level" in my professional development; this has not shifted since the acquisition. Working at Sharecare means that by and large, you're surrounded by people who truly want to improve the lives of others, and at the end of the day, that is something I'm proud to be a part of. My colleagues are amazing, the benefits are good, pay is competitive, collaboration is welcome and ideas are encouraged. Is it perfect every day? Goodness no. Do I honestly say I enjoy coming to work and am satisfied by my job? Absolutely.
Cons
The company is still "young", and with that comes firming up its identity and inevitable growing pains. At times, it's tricky to understand the next steps towards achieving our mission and connecting the dots, leaving it difficult to understand how to best contribute. Asking questions (which is encouraged) can typically help to alleviate that, but at times, the answers feel ambiguous. Also, parts of the company have gone through significant change in the last couple of years, including reductions. While it seems we're past those days, people are still on edge and adjusting to life without some of their co-workers and friends and the resulting shifts in their roles.
