Pros

Transparency, inclusiveness, sensible and decisive leadership, no drama, generous benefits, many perks, great compensation...this company really invests and values its employees- but most of all this company is changing healthcare and outpacing other leading software companies. What an honor to work for a company whose mission is to make navigating healthcare as easy as humanly possible for all people.

Cons

At this time, there are no cons. Every extra expectation is balanced with life/personal needs.

Business Outlook

Pros

The mission of the company of providing healthcare transparency. The opportunity to work with some of the most driven and talented colleagues. Good Benefits

Cons

Too much focus on pedigree as an indication of a person capabilities. Fast growth resulted in hires that didn't fit culturally resulting in Loss of it's close knit friendly atmosphere. The company feels much more hierarchical than it used to be, senior leadership is too busy with inside politics

Business Outlook

Pros

- I get to work for an industry leader in technology in a market that desperately needs our solution - I have 'all' of the resources and internal support needed to exceed expectations in my role - I get to work with the smartest and hardest working individuals in the industry - The technology we sell is literally 'light years' ahead of our competition - I am in a position to help positively impact one of the greatest drivers of the U.S. Economy - I help U.S. businesses compete on a global scale, reduce costs and attract top talent - We are disrupting the healthcare industry with a cutting edge technology that is fundamentally changing the market and the way companies will manage their healthcare business moving forward

Cons

- There is no standard template for closing deals and winning new business (You must be able to 'create' innovative solutions to complex problems involving multiple stakeholders) - Our technology is a few years ahead of the market (salespeople who prefer to make their quota on low hanging fruit need not apply)
