Working at Amwell feels like stepping into a workplace designed for you, where the virtual-first approach mirrors your ideal workstyle. The benefits aren't just checkboxes – they're a testament to our commitment, offering flexibility, mental health support, and the space to give back through volunteer days.

How does your company address the importance of work-life balance and flexibility for its employees?
At Amwell, we're not just embracing the future of work, we're revolutionizing it. Our Virtual First approach isn't just about location, it's about lifestyle. We've supercharged our practices to ensure work-life balance gets the attention it deserves.
We've made it a rule that internal meetings are scheduled with a clear purpose and intent. And here's the kicker – they start five or ten minutes after the hour, giving you those much-needed breathers in between.
We understand that the world doesn't run on one clock. That's why we've made it a habit to include our time zones in email signatures. It's a small touch that makes a big difference, helping colleagues connect and collaborate across time zones with ease.
Lastly, we're taking a step further in promoting holistic well-being by encouraging employees to step away from the screen, soak in some sunlight, and let the ideas flow as they connect with your internal team members through audio while on the move.
And when the situation allows, we embrace thoughtful, in-person meeting opportunities. We understand the value of face-to-face collaboration, and when appropriate, we're creating spaces for meaningful interactions that go beyond the virtual realm.
