Pros

The people who actually do the difficult work of collecting research, analyzing data, and working with clients are incredibly hard-working and driven by a mission to improve healthcare.

Cons

It remains to be seen whether KLAS can still get the hard-to-reach data it relies on, and whether it can deliver on its promise of peer-driven insights. In the name of cost-cutting, measures implemented over the last two years are undermining the mission and making it increasingly difficult to get work done. The latest round of layoffs has left teams overstretched. People whisper about burnout and quietly look for other jobs while trying to meet shifting expectations, all without enough resources or adequate training. The environment feels strange: privately, people are angry, you hear talk of nepotism, and so many skilled, knowledgeable colleagues have left. Publicly, meetings feel hollow — empty speeches about nothing, while real problems are ignored and swept under the rug. It's exhausting, and it leaves you feeling disappointed.

Pros

The mission of the company is noble and needed. Coworkers are caring, bright, and hardworking individuals.

Cons

While the company mission is admirable, it is now consistently overshadowed by a drive for money over all, a lack of consistent messaging, and poor leadership. Tools are so far behind that leadership has placed huge bets on AI, which continues to disappoint and underwhelm. When once the company looked within for talent to train and promote, we now hire more from the outside, particularly for senior leadership, which has been disastrous for morale and culture. Layoffs have eroded trust not only because now there is too much work for everyone else to absorb (with poor tools all around), but also because our current leadership doesn’t understand the overall mission or individual and team responsibilities. Leadership messages are chaotic. Managers don’t know how to cover for senior leadership missteps, training is abysmal, and many are looking for employment elsewhere. We’ve already lost great talent, and more losses are looming.
