Flatiron Health reviews

* Some departments can be very cliquey, unapproachable, and secretive. Office politics and favoritism run rampant. * People are there one day and disappear the next which adds a level of fear for job security. * If you aren't putting in 12 hour days or try to leave at a reasonable hour people will think you aren't "going above and beyond." Not the most sustainable environment if you have a family. There is a big drinking culture which makes you feel like you need to stay even later to put in face in order to be a part of the team. * Like some others have mentioned, Ivy pedigree is given more clout than it should and those without it can feel looked down upon. * It's common for managers to have no training or experience which can have a really negative impact. Training shouldn't be an option or afterthought but a prerequisite. * More talk and planning than action in a lot of areas

The people at Flatiron are undoubtedly very smart, but they are extremely pretentious about their educational and work backgrounds. Many people are coming directly from PhD programs, bringing that culture over and lacking an understanding for what it means to be in the private sector: how to work with other employees, and how to grow talent. Work culture is terrible -- 12-14hr days are normal, and if you're working less than that, then you are clearly slacking off. Managers are cliquey and inexperienced. The company has grown very fast and they are having issues scaling. New people join every couple of weeks and very little is done to get them on-boarded. There is little training on the subject-matter and poor mentorship and leadership. Flatiron has a great mission, and their employees are passionate about that mission. But because of this, politics and internal investment are often overlooked.
