Pros

Great place to work. Great perks to the job! The CEO really cares about his Team Members (not employees) Over the holidays he emailed the entire company and asked them not to come to work because the weather was horrible. The company is achieving great thing in the healthcare space.

Cons

Not thrilled with the working environment in the office. The middle management seems to be running around and I find that the team doesn't have great communication. I don't feel that I am being utilized to the best of my abilities and talents.

Thank you for your comments and thoughts, we really appreciate them as a leadership team. I agree that we still have areas of improvement, and our communication across many levels of the organization (not just middle management) is one area of focus for us. I mentioned some of these specific improvements in a response I gave to a review posted on January 26th, and would refer you to that response as well as I think much of it applies to your comments too. Thanks again for taking the time to voice your compliments and concerns!

Despite the hard work it's the best company I've worked for

Pros

-Ability to influence the future of the company and the industry. -Very intelligent co-workers. -Strong commitment to our core values. -Unlimited time off. -Decent health benefits (industry comparable, but not amazing)

Cons

-Growing company with several growth challenges (co-workers that know nothing about our products or processes, constantly changing structures, lack of commitment to standards, everyone worked to their limit, HIGH potential for burnout) -Dynamic atmosphere, don't expect to report to the same person or sit in the same place very long. -Think that you've earned an office or a quiet place to work? Good luck.

Thank you for your review. I think you capture the potential downside of working at a startup quite well. We do live in a dynamic environment, and the potential for burnout is real. Compounding this is a conscious choice by management to err on the side of less structure than more, in favor of allowing team members freedom to operate within the dynamic environment. This can certainly feel like the "Wild West", for sure. I will say that it should feel less like the Wild West to our clients, and we recognize that. We are putting some things into effect shortly that should help to remedy that. We are also working hard to increase the "quiet place to work" quotient. More on both of these soon. Thanks again!

Pros

Great company for self-starters and those who are excited about the idea of transforming healthcare. Upper management is open and transparent about the current and future state of the company. Politics are kept at a minimum because most people understand that the work needs to get done. The mission, values and culture are embedded in the company--they're not merely words on a slide deck. The perks are pretty good as well, including reimbursements (mass transit, internet, phone, gym to name a few), snacks in the break room and a new on-site gym with fitness classes.

Cons

The only con is that the company is going through growing pains as its size has doubled in the last 1.5 years. With a smaller company things can change quickly, so employees must be flexible. However, I also view this as a pro because it means the company is not rigid in its approach and is willing to admit something isn't working and then change.

Agree with your comments from top to bottom, including the feedback. Culture IS a huge deal. We do need to improve communications throughout the org structure. Thanks again!
