Pros
As CEOs go, Roger Holstein understands the health world and has put together a VERY impressive team. This company is transforming itself from a directory site to a new consumer brand. They embrace new technologies and have lots of smart people. Business-wise they are growing on all fronts and hiring like crazy. For good internal people, there are GREAT opportunities. We also have an Employee of the Quarter Award and other spiffs. Week by week integration between offices is improving, too, which is hard to say.
Cons
Healthgrades has had growing pains. A number of good people have left during the transition of leadership. When you hire 80 people in a year and grow both top and bottom lines, this is normal. As in any start up world, competing priorities can be hard to handle and non-performers can fall by the wayside. That said, things are improving. Internal brainstorming events, lunch and learns, and other development activities are bringing people together.
