Such a sad decline

Pros

Great location near public transportation, nice building. Used to be some great people there, not sure who's left now. Good company vision and mission. A lot of people there really care about improving healthcare--they very much believe in the mission.

Cons

The company really started declining when it purchased Jiff Software and messed up the integration terribly with weak leadership trying to be too nice and be everyone's friend as opposed to building the strongest company. Current leadership is terrible. Vast favoritism. Absolute lack of courtesy for others. No respect for employees as human beings. CEO can not manage people and treats them very poorly. She surrounds herself with "yes" people and won't even engage with others, nor treat them with any sort of common courtesy.

Pros

Many of the people are smart, driven and genuinely nice.

Cons

Too many politics and "in-fighting" within the organization from management levels on down. Culture needs be from the top down; don't just post them and talk about them.

Pros

Still some great people at this company trying to make it work. Conceptually, this platform should be a winner, and still has some hope.

Cons

Leadership: New leadership from Jive is trying to make things work, but they don't understand the business. Old leadership understands the business, but doesn't know how to scale. Sales: Be prepared to live off your base especially if you're in the Growth segment. Massive turnover has occurred over the last 12 months, and few people are happy. Marketing: Needs help...badly.
