Pros: This company really cares about creating a mental healthcare system that is accessible and easy to navigate. Everyone here is very mission-driven, and the work you do is very impactful. There is not a day where I don't feel fulfilled in my work. The team is amazing and incredible. Everyone here is extremely friendly, empathetic, hardworking, collaborative, and so wonderful to work with. Everyone I have worked with will take the time to help you or mentor you if needed. There are also so many opportunities for you to learn, grow, and explore other career interests. Headway definitely invests plenty of time into creating a top-notch culture. Work-life balance is decent. No one is on top of you about your hours as long as you make meetings and do the work that you need to do to get things done. There is unlimited PTO and plenty of really fun after-work activities such as happy hours, volleyball leagues, soccer leagues, and etc. Even though most of our roles are remote-based, the company puts in extra effort to bring people together without enforcing a return-to-work policy, which is literally the best thing. We even have a super fun yearly offsite where we get to meet other Headwegians that we don't normally work with. I absolutely love working at Headway, and I love my team in engineering. I've been here for a long time, and I still don't see myself leaving anytime soon :)

Cons: Headway is a startup, so it is growing rapidly and things do change pretty quickly and often. It's extremely important to be understanding and highly adaptable to the new demands.

Pros: I’ve been with Headway since December 2020, and it is undoubtedly the best company I have ever worked for. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on deeply fulfilling projects while watching the organization expand significantly. The most rewarding aspect is knowing our work directly helps millions of people. Internally, the company treats its team exceptionally well. I have consistently felt that my work is respected and, more importantly, that I am valued as an individual rather than just a metric of output.

Cons: Because we are scaling so quickly, company priorities can shift rapidly. This means project roadmaps occasionally change abruptly, which can be frustrating when it leads to sudden pivots or having to walk away from work you've heavily invested in.

Pros: - A bright engineering team. - An empathetic culture and good compensation and benefits. - First-time founder energy surrounded by industry veterans. - Varied work surfaces give a ton of different work experiences depending on the team.

Cons: No startup is perfect, and this is no exception. We struggle with planning and prioritization, and the communications from leadership aren't perfect, but overall, the people and the work make up for the pitfalls.
