Pros

Modern tech stack, remote-friendly, diversity awareness, upper management seems very passionate about our mission to improve patient health outcomes.

Cons

The technology organization has a high rate of turnover. The employee makeup is generally a mix of miscellaneous middle-managers, many overseas contractors, and some full-time engineers in the US. The biggest problems this company has are going too fast and trying to take on too much work at one time, not recognizing contributions appropriately, and not planning upcoming work with enough clarity. Annual reviews are conducted haphazardly, and promotions are not given based on merit. As a result, many talented engineers have been interviewing elsewhere and leaving. The day-to-day culture feels disconnected and these issues never get talked about.

VillageMD Response

We're sorry to hear you had a rough experience with Village. While the technology team is working on cutting-edge products, the rate of growth sometimes causes the kind of creative chaos that leaves some feeling left behind for a time, and not everyone is interested in riding through the rougher patches and growing pains. Both the technology leadership team and the HR organization at Village are constantly striving for improved employee experience and operational excellence across the board. If you'd be willing to share more about your experience so that we can help to make these much-needed improvements faster and better, we'd love to hear from you at talent@villagemd.com.

Pros

My direct supervisor was exceptional because she had to pivot in roles on the fly, yet maintained clear expectations, guidance and support for the team.

Cons

Company is constantly restructuring, eliminating positions yet putting the extra work on the people that remain without aligning the compensation with the increased responsibility.
