Pros

Located in coolest building in Nashville.

Cons

Senior management who have imbeded themselves into the knowledge chain and carry an unprofessional attitude when new smart thinking is introduced. Inability to define product requirements. Inability to execute. Inability to know or recognize good talent so as a result have many subpar performers. A zero creative quotient. Now forceing the development staff to move from cubes and to sit around cheap tables. This decision was made by a cto and vp who are not visionary without really listening to the staff. I personally know more than half of the staff is looking else where for employment because i am hiring and have had thier resumes come across my desk. "Butts in seats" is something I've personally heard a few of the leaders say. Seriously?

Pros

HealthStream is a great place to work with wonderful people. The work/life balance is why people stay.

Cons

401k benefits were cut again. Now they match 1% on a 10% contribution. Bonuses and salary are below market too. Senior leadership seems more interested with lining their pockets than growing the business and ensuring competent workers.
