Pros

The leadership team really stick to their operating principles, including transparency - an important one for me. Love working for a company who's mission is to make improvements in the healthcare industry which in turn should improve peoples' lives. Love my co-workers and how well we work together. We can work from home as much as we like. We have opportunities to learn and develop our careers. To top it all we have unlimited pto and we are trusted to be responsible with it

Cons

I don't know. We've just been through a major reorg and although I trust it was the best thing to do, I think we are still waiting for the dust to settle to make sure we are all still on the best path.

Thank you so much for your comments, and I will say that I most appreciated your comment in your "cons" section where you stated, "I trust it was the best thing to do". Achieving a level of credibility with our team at large such that we feel there is a broad level of trust from the organization is SO critical. And it is hard for companies to do. It is hard for us as a Leadership Team, as a collection of imperfect people with our own strengths and weaknesses, to do this consistently and well. We are going to make mistakes. And I agree, we still need to let the dust settle on the reorg to see if we are still headed down the right path. The fact that we can approach our challenges, big and small, with an attitude of "we are in this together", will really be the difference, I think, in our ability to make the right pivots when needed to stay successful. Thanks again!

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
