Pros

The work is often meaningful.

Cons

Annual bonuses were eliminated for the majority of employees. Management sold this as a good thing, citing a move to re-benchmark salaries to the 65th percentile from the 50th. They didn't do this and recently decided to move the target back to 50th, basically meaning they gave most employees a significant, permanent pay cut. When they announced the renege, they also announced other pay cuts. This amounts to them cutting our pay 2 years in a row. This, combined with declining quality of benefits for a higher cost, constant layoffs (about every 3 months like clockwork for multiple years), and increasing demands on each employee, are a recipe for burnout. If you like employers that stand by their word and value their employees, this is not the company for you.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate you calling out both the meaningful work and the serious concerns. Eliminating bonuses for core team members and changing pay benchmarks without delivering on commitments has damaged trust, and that’s not acceptable. We, as a leadership team, are focused on rebuild through feedback, clarity, openness, and follow-through. We’re actively reviewing our compensation practices and benefits, and we remain committed to transparent communication. I agree that retaining top talent means treating team members as investments. As we plan for 2026, we’re reassessing how we allocate resources, ensuring our investments are strategic, effective, and aligned with a clear organizational strategy to drive success. -Ben Albert

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you find the team supportive and enjoy the variety of work. We also hear your concerns about declining benefits and the lack of bonuses. Unfortunately, the necessity existed to reevaluate some of our above-market benefits and make some changes. Nonetheless, these are critical areas, and we continue to review the compensation and benefits strategy to ensure competitiveness and to provide opportunities to advance and grow. We are committed to being data-driven in these decisions. Your input helps this. -Ben Albert

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. I’m encouraged to hear that our remote flexibility, education benefits, and compensation were meaningful to you. We invest in these areas intentionally because we want team members to feel supported both personally and professionally. I also want to acknowledge the concerns you’ve raised around communication, organizational changes, and company performance. Leading through a rapidly evolving healthcare and technology landscape is not without its difficulties, and we know we don’t always get it right. Your feedback reinforces the importance of strengthening how we communicate across business units and how we help teams navigate change with greater clarity and confidence. We are committed to learning from this input and continuing to build a company where transparency, accountability, and care guide how we lead, especially during times of uncertainty. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for contributing to the culture we are striving to improve every day. Wishing you success in your next role. -Dan B.
