Pros

Voalte has a lot of great, innovative "ideas" as a software company and supports the artistic culture of the Sarasota area.

Cons

Poor executive leadership with lack of strategic plan for growing the organization. Poor morale after a massive RIF in February (folks had relocated families and were thanked with a $0 severance package). How is it possible to miss-manage growth of an organization by 33% in 1 year after a massive infusion of funding? Executive management continuing to practice the art of "managing folks out of the organization" to control costs as opposed to coaching for growth and there is definitely an "ol' boy network" of Gator alum - if you weren't in the graduating class you're probably disposable. Inability to bring a product to market without perpetual "patch" cycles. Advice to potential clients - a great product to pilot while considering options.

Pros

This company really cared about putting out the best product for healthcare staff.

Cons

They were acquired by a larger healthcare company and lost most of its uniqueness.

Pros

Voalte is the most engaging work environment I've ever been a part of. People may not think of Sarasota as a beacon for young, intelligent, ambitious people, but Voalte has done a tremendous job bringing in lots of talent. There are over 100 employees and yet very few strangers. People here work together well. There is an expectation of excellence (which breeds more of it) and there are very few "weak links". There's a lot to like.

Cons

Like any growing company, there are times where it feels like there's a lot of change. People come and people go. Processes change. Departments realign. Some people don't like change and a fluid work environment. It's not the best thing, but it's a necessary evil because our industry, customers, and competitors are rapidly evolving. Some positions travel excessively and are overworked. There may be a tendency towards burnout. Employee training/onboarding is very much sink or swim. You have to be willing to ask your coworkers a lot of questions and go out of your way to learn stuff on your own. While difficult, you could argue that this weeds out people who aren't smart enough or resourceful enough to figure it out.
