Pros

Imprivata has a strong flagship product that produces excellent revenue. Imprivata excels at marketing to its customers and the healthcare industry. It is well positioned to build upon its brand and expand its business as an IT security provider that ‘gets’ healthcare. The company isn’t in any danger of closing up or collapsing anytime soon. HR has been criticized in other reviews, but they are functional and professional.

Cons

Imprivata is a sales and marketing focused company. Leadership favors vocal extroverts with strong personalities that can up-sell and promote their own contributions. Introverts and quieter individuals are repeatedly overlooked and undervalued in the organization. Politics and alliances are essential to getting promoted. Compensation is consistently under-market for top-tier technical talent. A strong ‘fear of public failure’ culture hampers risk-taking and innovation. Fire-drills occur far too frequently -- a result of letting long-standing structural problems fester and under resourcing back office and r&d teams.
