Pros

The unlimited PTO was cool and bonuses were nice.

Cons

This whole company is a disorganized mess from leadership down to the software they use. The leadership has no idea what they are doing, everyone has grand plans but nothing ever gets done. Those in charge of the product change their mind about the direction on a weekly basis and require that you change your attention to the next shiny thing they think is neat. The code base is outdated, disorganized, and almost unusable in some regards. This company totes itself as a software company but is more interested in hiring sales and product people than focusing on their engineering team. In the short time I worked here there were 3 rounds of layoffs and I still see the writing on the wall for this company it is sinking fast. I do not see a future for anyone here so stay away if you can. There are also limited growth opportunities which make it hard to advance your career and no one is interested in helping you grow career wise.

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.
