Pros

Some of my coworkers were really nice

Cons

Finally someone has dared to write a negative review. I know of a bunch of people who’ve been fired from TherapyNotes, so I *highly* doubt the other negative reviews are all from one person. As of a few years ago, employees were covered 100% for health insurance, but there is no coverage for dependents or spouses. Coverage starts after THREE MONTHS. You are given two weeks of PTO to start, but you accrue one week every six months. Thus, technically, you can’t take PTO for the first six months. The number of holidays is on the very low end. Working from home wasn’t usually allowed. As for the rest, If you look at the unprofessional response to other negative reviews (and possibly this one after I post it), you can see what you’re dealing with. To be honest, I enjoyed the work I did at TherapyNotes, and there were some genuinely nice employees. There were also some snakes in the grass. The CEO is quick to fire people, with no warning. The office is “open concept,” but without any kind of professional design input. The desks are just lined up in rows. If I wanted to concentrate, people walking in my peripheral vision or having conversations was distracting. I didn’t see people working in the conference rooms; yes, they were available; but no, as a practical matter I think working in them would be silently frowned upon. They had a vague and unrealistic idea of what they wanted me to accomplish while I was there. Had I known the undisciplined way decisions and plans were made, I wouldn’t have taken the job. There are no restaurants within walking distance, so many people go to out to lunch or to grab takeout. The restaurants in the area are mediocre and expensive, in my opinion. Some of the folks working there are genuinely happy, but it’s not for everyone.

"Finally someone has dared to write a negative review" - It's not like there are repercussions for writing an anonymous review, so I'm not sure what this reviewer means. I'm surprised they think our responses are unprofessional, they certainly don't mean to be. They are meant to clarify things for potential new hires who are reading the disgruntled review of someone who was fired for not working out. Plus we've had some duplicate reviews posted from the same person. For as long as we've offered health insurance we've covered 100% of the individual, but not dependents. This has never changed. There is a 60 day waiting period, after which you start on the first of the month. It's a reasonable and generous policy. We've considered including something for dependents in the future. We are extremely flexible with time off. We allow working from home quite frequently due to bad weather, if sick, or even to work around things like doctor's appointments or contractors coming to your house. We rarely turn down PTO requests, even during your first 6 months. I'm sorry if this reviewer felt uncomfortable asking for time off. Regarding sudden firings, we gave a lot of feedback to a person who was an expensive employee providing insufficient value to the company after 6 months of employment. (Probably this reviewer) This employee was nice person, and it was an unfortunate thing to have to do, but this was a carefully made decision made after consulting with many people on the team. We worked with this person for a couple weeks hoping to improve things, but ultimately it didn't work out. The CEO doesn't make sudden firing decisions without careful consideration. That couldn't be further from the truth. The open floor plan is not for everyone. Most people like it. No one is frowned upon for working in meeting rooms. That's why we have them. I'm not sure why that was this reviewer's impression and I hope someone didn't incorrectly give them that information. There are so many meeting rooms in our plans specifically so that we can allow for this. "They had a vague and unrealistic idea of what they wanted me to accomplish" - We don't micro-manage, particular a senior member of the team. YES - I totally agree that it would be great to have restaurants that are walking distance! We used to but sadly it closed. But we do have a few restaurants that we drive to regularly that are great, like MaGerk's which is only 5 minutes away. Anthony's Pizza is delicious. Best of luck to this reviewer's future endeavors. I'm sorry they felt it necessary to write this review.

Pros

Great team culture which encourages closely working together and those with more experience teaching and helping new hires. Great healthcare, dental, and 401k benefits Good opportunities for long term careers Work from home allows for flexible schedules and less time and money spent on driving and gas. Teams always open for feedback on how to improve Fun team building exercises which make you feel like part of a family and not just a working team.

Cons

Quickly expanding company means growing pains, shifts to SoA, new hires, refactoring into Angular and simultaneous development of new features can lead to quickly out of date documentation and unexpected issues which block work items.
