GoodRx Engineering Department Employee Reviews

I have enjoyed my time here at GoodRx; I enjoy the people, the mission, the work, the leadership and my co-workers.

Review from Engineering Dept

AMAZING company, couldnt be happier

Review from Engineering Dept

I really want to enjoy working at GoodRx. It's a good product and a culture of respect. But the baseline competence level in the engineering org is just really low.

Review from Engineering Dept

A+, 10/10 in every regard.

Review from Engineering Dept

Started as very positive experience but has deteriorated towards 2019. SilverLake has brought a lot of negative culture and practices leading to overworked team members. Pay is competitive but not worth the extra hours one has to work in order to achieve goals (OKRs unreasonable ones).

Review from Engineering Dept

I'm extremely proud to work at GoodRx. The mission is meaningful, the people are all dedicated, and the company is always trying to become better. If you come here, check your ego at the door as none of that lives here ;)

Review from Engineering Dept

I feel there is a good level of transparency in regards to changes and decision making and that the leadership team is committed to doing good in all things.

Review from Engineering Dept

They really care about their employees and customers

Review from Engineering Dept

Down to earth, mission and long term value creation focused.

Review from Engineering Dept

The leadership team appears to be working to push new projects forward for us.

Review from Engineering Dept

Engineering leadership at GoodRx really just... doesn't know what they are doing. Decision making is chaotic. Executives are constantly micromanaging. Nothing ever gets done. My advice for the execs: step back. Your job is hiring people and building culture, not building software.

Review from Engineering Dept

The culture used to be great until Q1 2019. Since Silverlake joined the board, the culture has deteriorated. Some software engineers work late nights and on weekends creating higher expectation for others. There is a culture of overwork. Also a high churn rate. Very discouraging.

Review from Engineering Dept

The medical benefits are outstanding

Review from Engineering Dept

Healthcare coverage for medical is great.

Review from Engineering Dept

Amazing health benefits, great compensation package with bonuses

Review from Engineering Dept

GoodRx's unlimited PTO is really and really nice.

Review from Engineering Dept

The company pays for everything including PPO insurance!

Review from Engineering Dept

I think the numbers (at least that I receive) at not at all competitive with market, and HR is insistent on making sure the exact bands remain a mystery to anyone already working here.

Review from Engineering Dept

Pay is competitive but not worth the long hours engineers have to work. Software engineers are overloaded. There is not enough room to learn.

Review from Engineering Dept

Disappointing raises based on percentages rather than changing market rate.

Review from Engineering Dept

Dedicated, respectful and hard working

Review from Engineering Dept

Nice, good people who care about the mission.

Review from Engineering Dept

Everyone is genuinely kind and supportive

Review from Engineering Dept

Mission driven, smart, infectiously helpful

Review from Engineering Dept

Great rapport and interactions. People are generally willing to help each other out.

Review from Engineering Dept

We're doing good work to help Americans receive affordable healthcare and we are getting lots of perks and recognition along the way! The company is always looking to improve!

Review from Engineering Dept

We often have fun activites and take care of yourself days where we can random days in the month off

Review from Engineering Dept

Very much a positive culture where we celebrate wins and progress.

Review from Engineering Dept

Engineering culture at GoodRx needs a massive overhaul. The main components I would recommend are: 1. Eliminate waterfall-type development methods, particularly 'inceptions' 2. Give teams real autonomy. Right now every team is strangled by executive meddling and stakeholder overload.

Review from Engineering Dept

Firing someone within first year of hire is a not because they were bad, it's because we failed to train and motivate them to perform. Try reducing churn rate. Managers must treat team with respect. They need to make sure the team members are not overworked. Different members have different capacity

Review from Engineering Dept

The lack of transparency about day to day or even quarterly decisions is very frustrating.

Review from Engineering Dept

It was fast and next steps were clear.

Review from Engineering Dept

Everyone was great to talk to

Review from Engineering Dept

Good cross-section of the company, got to go deep in a few areas, got to feel out the vibe of the company through the process.

Review from Engineering Dept

Autonomy, people listen to my ideas and we have healthy conversations. There is no fear of retaliation.

Review from Engineering Dept

My coworkers and helping our customers afford much needed medication

Review from Engineering Dept

The chance to help real people with real problems that impact their daily life

Review from Engineering Dept

Friendly, respectful co-workers who like to help others.

Review from Engineering Dept

My coworkers are the best part about my job.

Review from Engineering Dept

The engineering organization is just a mess. Decisions are made haphazardly and then reversed. There's no consistency. Executives try to act like architects, while architects are all AWOL. Every decision is a political battle.
