ChenMed reviews

Saying this as level-headed and objectively as possible, comparing this to my prior and current experience in Product Management. Pay attention to these realistic reviews. - Micromanagement, toxic and cult-like culture Every email and message you wrote was skinned and picked apart. You had zero freedom to set your own roadmap. An IT standup every single day, early in the morning, in which a different person every day recites the various ChenMed values and gives a tiny speech; it was the same thing over and over with everyone pretending to believe in it. The senior leadership were so toxic and demanding, backstabbing, and plain rude. - No REAL product focus The product folks there pretended they were keeping up with product trends and product practices but the higher ups received their marching orders from the execs. There was no care for product best-practices and this is definitely not a product-led organization; you will not excel in your product career here. - Unrealistic Expectations The product higher-ups expected the rest of the product team to also be a proJECT manager. They gave team members large BOGUS initiatives that were unrealistic. One initiative required giving devices to patients and the product person was expected to be on top of the delivery of the devices, which stickers went on the devices, how many patients received devices, how many of those devices were returned or unused, etc, etc. You were also expected to have perfect analytics on iterative projects with usage data that the platform didn't even support yet. When you didn't have data, you were chewed out into the dirt, publicly. - Fear-culture Product and development cultures were driven by FEAR. All the "lower" folks in product and development had to be careful what they said, tiptoe around upper management, and make sure they were ALWAYS online ALWAYS. - Non-innovative This company has terrible looking internal products. If you work on the healthcare side here in product, all of this company's platforms looked like hot garbage. There is no space for innovation or creativity because you had to bow down to ever request of the "stakeholders", even though all of the apps were looked disgusting and boring. FYI - your "stakeholders" were the execs that wanted everything yesterday or some docs that were the most disrespectful people ever. - Many many more reasons to NOT work here but I've typed a lot. tl;dr - If you value your product career growth, are looking to be a mentor, or be mentored.. DO NOT WORK HERE, honestly.

Incredibly disorganized, management-heavy, shifting priorities, gross incompetence in middle management roles, micromanagers, wastefulness and unnecessary levels of management, mold to their cult-like, ra ra culture or else. Say only what managers want to hear, don’t even consider rocking the boat, not a place for disrupters or innovators, toxic culture, two-faced middle managers who say one thing and mean something entirely different, threatened by real-world industry knowledge, incredibly stressful, meeting-heavy, unpleasant culture, managers have no clue what real world project management looks like. Training is terrible! Hours on end in mind numbing Zoom meetings. Egos soothing and butts kissing absolutely required. Colleagues up all night trying to meet unrealistic deadlines set by managers who don’t have a clue. Employees terrified of losing their jobs if they say the wrong thing to the department head. Incredible amounts of waste every day.
