Best Workplace for three consecutive years (2022–2024), indicating strong employee satisfaction. - **Growth and stability**: Despite recent acquisition, the company continues to hire (8 open positions as of search) and has maintained a ~14.6% YoY headcount increase. The combination with Spring Health may provide additional resources and career development opportunities. - **Engineering and data culture**: Active roles in Data Science, Business Intelligence, Engineering, and Product suggest a data-driven, tech-enabled environment. - **Collaborative environment**: Emphasis on supporting therapists (the “Alma membership”) and a team-oriented approach to solving complex healthcare challenges. ## Sources 1.
