Pros

High technical aptitude among the rank and file. Massage facility downstairs. Opportunity to use some of the best technology. Researched new methodologies.

Cons

Nepotism was rampant. Few promotions for current employees as the friend of someone with influence often was installed before interviews occurred with those on the inside Chaos erupted beginning in 2011. Many GREAT managers (and a few not-so-great) were let go while (I assume) better-connected, less-capable managers remained. Product design was not epistemic at all. There was no wealth of evidence that could overturn the misguided opinion of a manager -- unless it saved money or time. Jargon was the preeminent currency, even if it had no financial backing. I'm quite sure that some people were promoted through their presentation of a preponderance of meaningless techie-sounding words hastily concatenated and finalized by a declarative smirk. Some employees did an amazing job while working in a particular area for a good manager, but after moving to a different area with a different manager, they'd be gone within a few months. I never heard any of them express concerns and many of them appeared to be just as productive as ever. It seems that perhaps merit is a lower priority than manager whims.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Working alongside such talented, passionate people is one of the things I enjoy most about working for Influence Health. We do have a team of highly technical employees with the opportunity to work with innovative, cutting-edge technology. The time you reference in 2011 was a time of record growth and expansion for the company that included an acquisition. Market shifts in healthcare priorities can have ripple effects which necessitate organizational change and focus. We believe that ultimately the focus of healthcare should be the healthcare consumer and the company aligned accordingly post ACA. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your endeavors.

Pros

flexible vacations and time off Pretty decent benefits Great employees excluding upper management

Cons

Company had a great vision last year and was finally on track to do well! This past year, not so much....there was an reorganization of the Services team that was decided by some folks in upper management which hasn't been working out. Really bad morale especially when they flag you as being unproductive for working 40 hours/week; expectation is to work at least 50 hours/week. No wonder so many are under water with their accounts. If you criticize or complain at all, you are viewed weak and toxic to the team! Leadership has no empathy for those working their butts off! You are told everyone is dispensable and that they have resumes stacked a mile long to replace you! The internal communication is poor! No transparency between departments and you scramble to figure out who to ask what for any information! The leadership, especially the COO comes up with these grandiose ideas, expects people beneath him to execute but he never follows thru! It's like watching a clutch of chickens running around with their heads cut off all the while he's patting HIMSELF on the back! Great people are leaving that ARE hard to replace and believe this is just the start of a domino effect!

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspectives on what it was like for you to work at Influence Health. We are incredibly disappointed that this was how you experienced your time working with us because if there is ANYTHING we know to be true as a company, it is that our people are our greatest asset. Our latest customer satisfaction survey (NPS) reflects this. Not only did we receive the highest aggregate score we've ever received, but 44% of our customers actually took the time to write positive comments about our people and the level of service they receive from us. Obviously, it is critical to our success that each and every one of our high-performing employees feels appreciated and inspired to do their best work. This is why we have worked hard to create a results-oriented culture. To us, this means our employees operate with the mindset that they are personally accountable for meeting commitments, empowered to make decisions and suggestions, and also enjoy the freedom and flexibility to alter their schedule and take time off when needed, without preset limits. Some weeks this means working 50 hours; some weeks it means working 32. We've even gone so far as to offer every employee a 30-day paid sabbatical every five years to encourage a healthy work-life balance. Yes, there is a lot of change at Influence Health as we pride ourselves on being nimble and responsive to the rapidly changing healthcare market we serve, but we genuinely believe we offer a very highly competitive working environment for people who want to be part of a winning team that is making a real difference in healthcare. It is our sincere hope that you have gone on to find the right fit for you. Be well!
