Pros

Work life balance, Incentives, 401k match. Company treats employees well

Cons

Strategic direction is not great right now. New initiatives and their roll out in particular could have been done better. Compensation compared to other leaders in the industry is not great. The roles and compensation doesn't match always!

Pros

• Decent contractor pay • Respectable benefits package for full-time employees • Interesting projects in healthcare tech • Some talented developers and team leads • Strong brand name on resume • Work-life balance is generally respected

Cons

• Shocking 40% pay cut when converting from contractor to full-time • Head of software engineering has zero software engineering experience (post-2024 layoffs) • Extreme educational bias - undergraduate degrees treated as worthless, talented self-taught or Bootcamp Engineers are being looked down upon • Top performers fired based on credentials, not actual performance while management claims it was performance despite their direct leadership saying otherwise • Aggressive offshoring of software projects • Toxic culture since the 2023 layoffs that continues to worsen • Pure politics determines advancement, not skill or results • Management treats employees as disposable numbers • "Yes-men" culture enforced throughout leadership
