Pros

If your main goal is to work on anatomy software, there aren't too many other companies that do it.

Cons

The company culture, projects, priorities, and timelines are defined by a volatile CEO. He's a former software engineer with poor people skills and no training in project management, marketing, design, or content (and it shows). If you catch him on a "bad day” as we say around the company, your team's budget or personnel might be suddenly slashed, your timeline cut in half without explanation, you might be expected to work late, or you'll just have to endure a tantrum. Nobody's perfect, but for me decency, self-awareness, and people skills are a must for a C-level executive who insists on micromanagement and being so involved in the day-to-day. Your team will be constantly defined by the CEO’s personal mood. Take this and all the other reviews about the CEO seriously: it's a real problem here and he is the reason why I’ve begun looking for jobs elsewhere. Final recommendation: If you have other comparable offers or can wait, choose somewhere else. If you're an entry level employee coming in you might be fine and be buffered from the CEO. But your projects, your manager, and the unnecessarily aggressive expectations will still be defined by CEO; Managers and CFO just do what the CEO tells them to. If you're someone that may work directly with the CEO, it’s not worth it. But if you do consider accepting an offer here, make sure you first: 1. Negotiate on the salary. Salary offers and benefits packages are low compared to industry standards and work performed (e.g. low % of retirement matching, no severance package, etc.) 2. Interview the CEO and whoever would be your manager and team members about the things that matter to you. How many people have been promoted over the past 5 years? How will you be evaluated? (the performance review process is an unfair mess). Why is the role you’re applying for available? You might not like what you hear. CEO will likely be your last interview-it’s a good time to learn what it’d be like. 3. Talk with as many current and former employees as possible. CEO and CFO can talk the talk, so reach out to those that actually have to live it. 4. Management including CFO walks around the office to see who’s working late. It’s an example of the C-level micromanagement and poor culture, but if you join you'll have to play the silly "stay late" game. 5. Make a plan. Over the past 2 years we’ve seen significant numbers of employees from multiple teams being suddenly let go (same day, no notice) and there is NO severance package. Plan accordingly.

Pros

Working at Anatomage has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional career. From day one, it was clear that this company was built on an incredible vision and a genuine desire to make a positive impact in education and healthcare. Every day, I leave work knowing that what we do truly makes a difference in the lives of students, educators, and future healthcare professionals. One of the things that stands out most about Anatomage is its leadership. The leadership team genuinely cares about its employees and goes above and beyond to support their success. My SDR Manager, Daniel, is one of the best leaders I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. He invests time in coaching, mentoring, and helping his team grow professionally. Since joining the company, I’ve learned invaluable sales skills and developed a level of passion and confidence that has made me excited to come to work every day. The company culture is second to none. Anatomage invests heavily in its employees and creates an environment where people can thrive. Even small things, such as providing catered lunches every day, demonstrate how much the company values its team. It’s a level of care and appreciation that I’ve never experienced elsewhere. Another thing I’ve noticed is the outstanding reputation Anatomage has within the education industry. Everywhere I look, educators and institutions speak highly of the company and its products. It’s easy to feel proud representing an organization that is so respected and whose products are making a real impact on learning outcomes. If you’re looking for a company with a strong mission, exceptional leadership, a supportive culture, and meaningful work, Anatomage is an incredible place to build a career. -Jesse

Pros

Company is growing. There are many opportunities to change positions or move up. I haven’t interact much with the CEO but he seems thoughtful. Management cares a lot about product quality which results in innovative products. Strategies and products can change quickly, I see it as part of the fast paced environment. Lunch, drinks and coffee are provided!

Cons

PTO is very low. It starts at 10 days for remote or 15 days for onsite. No sick days. Some people can be overly negative.
