Pros

I really believe the product we produce has a huge positive impact in healthcare.

Cons

Junior leadership team, conflicting priorities, spread too thin, small company mentality we have really outgrown, decrepit technology with tons of poor design, product team is questionable. Lots of these leadership decisions basically result in double the workload for engineering while being rather underpaid. Equity is laughable.

Pros

Great people and culture. Solid benefits, Health insurance paid 100%.

Cons

Comp is ok. Promotions are almost impossible to get. Constant layoffs, maybe 5-7 times in the past 12 months? Engineering leadership is constantly switching priorities and lacks vision, transparency, and ownership. Long-standing traditions are now being canceled, likely to save money. Poor AI posture in engineering. Engineers are encouraged to spend ridiculous amounts on AI tokens, then the company does layoffs because it spent too much on AI.
