Pros

I believe the CEO of the company has positive intentions to impact healthcare. Many engineers on my team were some of the best co-workers I’ve ever had the pleasure working with.

Cons

The experience here depends on which team you are on. Some teams do not have critical path work, have a decent work life balance, and an overall positive experience working here. On the other hand, there are teams that are consistently being crushed with urgent, poorly defined critical path work resulting a miserable experience and burnout. There are frequent strategy pivots which feels like the company is having difficulty getting the expected traction from the current product and is throwing things at the wall in hope that something eventually sticks before running out of funding. Overall career growth and opportunities to move within the organization are limited. Recently promotions seem to happen only when a number of people leave in order to retain existing employees or to prevent someone with an offer from leaving. The overall compensation is below average given the seniority level and expectations placed on engineers, especially compared to other companies in the same space and size. There is low priority given to code quality and engineering practices, and little opportunity to improve processes as speed is always prioritized over quality. This negatively impacts product development with a tremendous amount of technical debt.

Pros

- High Impact work - Making a difference - Great People

Cons

- They expected me to work weekends sometimes (which I refused) A developer shouldn't be expected to work a weekend due to poor project management/planning.

Pros

I had some pretty great coworkers and made some friends I keep in touch with.

Cons

They're just a cog in the wheel to keep big pharma rolling, while disguised as some kind of change agent to help people achieve better health outcomes. They make their product for big players in the sickcare industry, not for end users. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say I'm not claiming they even know this is what they're doing, but... they are. The actual product is the end user's data that is used to try to get them to take more meds, inject more vaccines, see more doctors, have more screenings - anything to keep the money pumping into the sickcare system. They're just serving the status quo system that is largely responsible for our population being sick as hell. Anyone who believes otherwise is unfortunately unaware of how just corrupt the sickcare industry is and probably eats pop tarts for breakfast before downing 5 prescription meds to start their day. Other than the product being a total dud with garbage UX (not from a lack of the UX team trying to improve it), leadership is highly ineffective. Before I spend any more energy on this post, let me just say that all the negative stuff you see in all the other reviews is unfortunately, but absolutely, true. If you really need a job and they offer you one, I get it. It could be worse. But don't be gaslit by this "we're making the world a better place" stuff.
