Pros
The other engineers were interesting and hard-working people
Cons
Healthgrades acquired a company called "Evariant" and replaced several of their C-suite executives for the "health system division" with those from Evariant. The new CTO made no attempt to forge good relationships between the original Healthgrades employees and the Evariant folks who came over after acquisition, instead opting to just fire a large percentage of the Healthgrades folks over the past year. Merit is not rewarded, only blind loyalty is recognized. The company as a whole takes a very "sell the product, then build the product" mentality which leads to an overwhelming amount of client commitments. The excessive client commitments demanded long hours, with some engineers working every single weekend. Employee burnout is real and several key Engineering leaders have left and not been replaced. People are forced to wear many hats outside of their job description and that effort is just expected rather than rewarded. Despite all of that effort, this work is for nothing; the client commitments are continuously delayed and features are released in a very buggy, unusable state. Instead of investing more resources to stabilize and deliver existing product lines, new product lines and teams are still being formed. This is the "vaporware" that other reviewers have referenced. Majority of employees did not receive a merit increase in 2020 nor will they receive one in 2021, despite numerous layoffs equating to everyone having increased responsibilities.
