Pros

Co-worker are friendly, willing to help, otherwise company are down hilling

Cons

I have been here since 2019 and have watched the company decline. It used to allow employees to work 2–3 days a month in the office. However, starting in January 2026, management is pushing employees to work 8 days a month. This is forcing people to leave. Many people choose healthcare companies specifically for the work-life balance, but now the company has been silently cutting hundreds of employees over the last couple of months, resulting in fewer people and a higher workload. Considering there is no stock, the total compensation isn’t competitive with the outside market. Between the pay and forcing employees back to the office frequently, the company is getting worse. Another frustrating part is they still mention being one of the "Best 50 Companies" from last year, citing a decent workload, work-life balance, and a flexible RTO policy. Since the start of this year, I don’t think that is true anymore, it’s a joke

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
