Toxic and dysfunctional

Pros

Product makes a product that benefits many

Cons

You're going to be worked to the bone, and nobody's gonna have your back. If you’re not friends with the senior management or don’t have an ex-McKinsey badge on your chest, prepare to carry the load of three people, seven days a week. Management won’t lift a finger to help you grow or develop, while their pet favorites get the perks, promotions, and awards with no real process behind it. It’s a tough place, and if you're not in the 'inner circle,' good luck getting ahead.

What Can I Say

Pros

Technology and mission are solid. Very talented people

Cons

Toxic work place, just toxic. CEO is overwhelmed and backgorund lends to 7 day work week, Expect to answer emails on Sat and Sun. CEO expects you to know hospital contacts next of kin names and often calls people out on monthly business shifts of a couple hundred dollars. Turnover is huge and not sustainable. Wall Street sees rev growth but completely based on new accounts. Same Store Growth not reported to Wall Street which is the ultimate tell of sustainability. Growth based on adding more reps to regions that will never sustain for more than a few years

Pros

The company is working in an innovative space with a product that addresses a real clinical need. Some individuals within the organization are talented, supportive, and genuinely want to make a positive impact.

Cons

The company operates under a fear-based management style, particularly within the sales organization. Executive leadership lacks the qualifications necessary to lead effectively, with only a small minority demonstrating competence, integrity, and emotional intelligence. A pervasive fear of the CEO exists across teams, contributing to a high-stress and psychologically unsafe work environment. Leadership roles are frequently filled by individuals who do not possess the relevant skills or experience for their positions. They are skilled in managing up and putting on a show for their managers to make it seem as if they understand what is going on within the field sales organization. Employee concerns are routinely met with superficial reassurances rather than meaningful action; feedback is acknowledged but rarely addressed in any substantive way. There is a significant mismatch between how roles are presented during the recruitment process and the actual responsibilities, resulting in misaligned expectations and avoidable turnover. Career progression opportunities are limited (if not non-existent) and largely title-based, offering no clear development pathways or mentorship. Communication and collaboration between departments and colleagues are minimal, creating silos and contributing to a fragmented and inefficient organizational culture. This chaos further fuels the toxic culture. Strategic initiatives are often developed by individuals without hospital sales experience, resulting in ineffective and misaligned execution that serves more as busy work than business impact. The organization has an excessive number of middle managers (many with little or no hospital sales experience), which adds bureaucracy without delivering clear value or support. Despite requiring candidates with extensive industry experience (often 10+ years), people are subject to micromanagement and treated as junior employees. The company places equal urgency on all tasks and initiatives, leading to confusion around priorities and constant shifting of focus. Leadership demonstrates poor receptiveness to feedback and is generally defensive when faced with constructive criticism. New employees are asked shortly after onboarding to leave a 5-star Glassdoor review, raising questions about the authenticity of the company's online reputation. A rigid sales "playbook" approach is enforced, with little room for adaptation or professional judgment. A one-size-fits-all approach does not work. Employee attrition is alarmingly high, particularly within the sales team, and leadership avoids acknowledging or addressing the root causes. Sales training is disorganized and lacks a consistent structure, leaving new hires underprepared.
