Oscar Health is a tech-driven health insurer whose mission is to create a better experience for members navigating the complex healthcare system, reducing the cost of people’s healthcare, and increasing the quality of outcomes. Though that mission poised Oscar to successfully scale, in 2018, the company found that their existing New York headquarters could no longer hold all their talent. In addition, Oscar needed a couple of must-have features on their wish-list: The space needed to enable their collaborative culture while also being flexible enough for individuals to work comfortably based on personal preferences. 

In May 2019, Oscar moved into their new headquarters at One Hudson Square in downtown Manhattan. The space is home to more than 500 employees. The office encompasses every feature on their wish-list: The open floor plan has a variety of functional workspaces, ranging from individual booths to open lounges, to complement different work styles. Befitting a healthcare company, one large room is dedicated to wellness classes, such as yoga. There are also showers, so employees can wash up after morning or midday workouts. Beyond that, Oscar’s headquarters was designed with their collaborative company culture in mind, with numerous breakout spaces and meeting rooms. 

“Working with WeWork for cost savings, time efficiency, and streamlining the overall process was a win on all three counts,” says Charles Mirisola, Workplace Strategy Manager at Oscar Health.
