Thrilled to be there at first... quickly fell apart

Pros

Initially, messed with my team well. We moved into the building... everything was very exciting and new. Lots of potential to improve the software and make a difference.

Cons

Not long after I started, my boss left. He had become so frustrated with upper management that he just could not take it any longer. Ascend had brought in a loud-mouth "alpha" male type that just made everyone around him miserable. You know the type. There were unreasonable demands placed on us - like this goofy "5 nines" crap. Really? Stress levels became so high that it was effecting my health. I had to go.

Pros

Good benefits Likable colleagues Interesting products

Cons

Advancement difficult Culture slipping rapidly Squeezing employees for all they can and then befuddled that people are jumping ship Focusing on infinite growth at the cost of employee health and relationships Slipping towards quantity over quality. Which is worrying because this is a company that educates healthcare professionals. Tuition reimbursement is touted then very difficult to actually get. Communication between departments is abismal.
