Pros

This is really a unique company. It was built the hard way, on a small amount of angel funding and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Now almost 20 years later, it's thriving, profitable, and self-directed. I adore my coworkers and many of them are almost like family to me at this point. They are not only the brightest, but also the best - they have determination, passion, and sincerity. We all spend a lot of time working face to face or on the phone with physicians and other caregivers, and it inspires and challenges us to do our best work. I don't think there is any other company that is so well situated to skip the hype cycle and actually make a difference in healthcare.

Cons

We work hard - this is not a company for people who are thinkers rather than doers. Everyone is expected to carry their weight, both with the team's shared responsibilities as well as in their own work. It can be a lot at times, but the rewards are profound. Travel is part of the job (anywhere from 25% - 50% of weeks could have some business travel, depending on your role). I see that as a plus, but it's not for everyone.

Pros

pMD wants to turn the medical industry on it’s head by changing the way health care professionals use software. With that in mind, working at pMD and interacting with our customers is a constant reminder that change is necessary and needs to happen now. If you want to work for a company disrupting an industry that desperately needs it, this is your place. The work is challenging and nothing like you’ve ever done. Your job will not only be your title, but include a set of different and likely unfamiliar roles. You will support the customer, you will travel, you will educate, and you will learn to be autonomous. It's not for everyone, but can be rewarding for those that choose to work here. On a more fun note, the pMD office is located in the Presidio, which is a beautiful place to work. The office is large, open, and even has a full-size beer fridge. As we accomplish company goals, we go on company outings and trips that usually start and end with a healthy dose of alcohol.

Cons

As of today, pMD is still small, although not as agile or transparent as it could be. There is still a lot of growth to be had and internal changes will be necessary for it's success. If you don't like to travel, this is probably not the company for you - even as an engineer. Personally, I don't enjoy the travel to the extent that others do, but the upside are the miles that you accrue.
