Pros

People are pretty nice overall and really care about improving healthcare. Lots of smart people with great ideas.

Cons

The product team is in an interesting place since it takes product ideas from the accounts and sales team ... the only issue is that they never say 'no' to a feature. At some point, the feature gets built out and it's only produced a product line that is TOO configureable. This leads to something failing at every single deploy and then the product team/certain accounts team members have to pick up the pieces. Exec team is not kept in place. There are a lot of examples of harassment and misogynist microaggressions that have become commonplace at CipherHealth. You would think that for a company that's got so many women and women in leadership roles, that the exec team would be a bit more friendly to women. But it's the opposite. Male employees with significantly less merit are transferred to different teams, given credit, and are overall treated better within the company. There are examples of exec members who deliberately show the desire to stunt female employees career trajectories at the company and discredit them. Some of my female colleagues were gaslit (when someone manipulates you into questioning your own sanity) by male exec team members after the employees raised concerns about their work and overall trajectory at the company. I do my best to work as hard as possible and to leave the office as soon as I can just to get a breather from the atmosphere. CipherHealth makes it a big talking point that you can easily schedule a 1-1 with execs, but as a woman, I really don't feel comfortable doing that with some of the exec members because why would I subject myself to being ridiculed and harassed on 1-1 coffee appointment outside the office? The accounts team really needs help though. A lot of people have left or have been fired and work is just being piled on to a smaller group of people each time someone leaves. The current accounts leadership is not doing well and many find that the leadership is haphazard and manipulative. If leadership doesn't like your or you just don't 'click' socially with the others, they will find ways to put you on a performance improvement plan with zero reason based on your work at the company. Don't work here. You can find a better place to work that doesn't make you sacrifice your own mental health.

Pros

Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy

Cons

Excessive Meetings & High Turnover The company schedules numerous meetings that disrupt workflow and don’t always add value. This, combined with high employee turnover, creates an unstable environment where projects are constantly in flux. Frequent Reorganizations Job title changes occur without proper notice, leading to confusion and uncertainty. These frequent shifts, coupled with quarterly layoffs, leave employees feeling insecure about their roles. Toxic Work Environment The culture has become increasingly toxic, with a focus on reprimands instead of constructive feedback. Many employees operate on edge, which negatively impacts morale and productivity. Inconsistent Treatment of Employees While performance reviews may include praises and there's no formal performance improvement plan in place, it is disheartening that good employees are still let go. This inconsistency contributes to a feeling of instability and unfairness. Lack of Bonuses The absence of bonuses stems from the company's unrealistic objectives, which often seem designed to avoid financial rewards for employees, creating frustration and disillusionment. No Clear Growth Strategy There is a noticeable absence of a coherent strategy for sustainable business growth. Constant cost-cutting measures and position eliminations appear to be attempts to artificially boost financials rather than fostering genuine progress. Deterioration of Workplace Culture Once considered a great place to work, CipherHealth now suffers from a declining atmosphere, contributing to employee dissatisfaction and increased turnover.
