Pros

Good team members and great company size. CEO has a real passion for healthcare. The company culture is good as well!

Cons

Low pay, manipulative leader with poor leadership skills. RIF didn't effect leadership only worker bees. Too leaders get overpaid for poor performance, especially in Sales!

Pros

Good people, lots of communication, nice perks if you're a full-timer, decent perks even if you're only a contractor. (They do a lot of temp-to-hire)

Cons

Very corporate environment even though they try to go for a startup vibe. Too much communication sometimes. Meetings about meetings.
