Fast-Growing Company with Lots of Opportunity
Pros
This is not your average "healthcare" company. We are a tech company in the healthcare industry so that equates to a much cooler company culture... casual dress code, flexible work hours and understanding managers, opportunities to work remotely, nice offices/common areas, fun company events. This is a great place for someone who has a vision and wants to take action. High performers are rewarded with lots of growth opportunities professionally. Teamwork is highly valued. I go to work every day with some of the best people I know. And we all do what it takes to make things happen and pitch in where needed. Downtown office location is great. Parking pass is an awesome perk on nights and weekends for personal use.
Cons
We are growing so quickly that often support resources do not grow in lock step. Many departments are over capacity and running just to keep up. We have "so much money in the bank" yet we often feel that money isn't going toward employee benefits and market-value compensation. As well as department budgets - expectations are high to deliver groundbreaking performance yet the expectation is to do so with as little $ as possible. While that makes for some very resourceful people, it can be frustrating. For a tech company, I think we could be more innovative. It takes us years to make changes when swift action is what's needed. I think this comes from competing priorities and an unwillingness to pony up the $ it takes sometimes to get things done quickly and the RIGHT way. This high-growth also brings about acquisitions. In my experience, it has not been a smooth process integrating acquired companies. Management lets divisions spur off independently too long which creates natural barriers between employees and the ability to work efficiently.
