Pros

The mission of HG in helping people find a doctor is a good one.

Cons

-Lack of talent. No one in organization is fluent in healthcare. Lot of GED's who like using buzzwords, but have no idea what they are talking about (I asked someone about ACO's and they had no idea what it was) -Finance team either delays your monthly salary payment or will try and renegotiate lower salary. Plenty of horror stories with many of my co-workers -Politics is off the charts! No good work can get done with constant backstabbing -Clients are leaving for competitors and leadership is clueless in responding to it -Sales practices are unprofessional -No upward mobility. -Lack of good data for HG.com. Physician information continues to be wrong and misleads the consumer

Pros

Location. The people excluding executive and HR teams. Paid time off (PTO) benefit.

Cons

The executive team is shady in their supposed company goals. They seem to be like most other corporations in their greedy dealings, even though their message to employees at quarterly meetings is all about helping Americans make better healthcare choices. Meanwhile, they sign multi-year contracts with clients who own facilities (and sponsor their physicians) that make the content displayed on their site biased -- and not for the consumer's or patient's better interest. Example: If a client pays the right price to have data suppressed such as physicians' survey results or background history, they abide to the client's demands. The HR team is not trustworthy. Management overworks employees on a regular basis. They say that 12 hour work shifts including weekends will be over when a project is completed, but the projects and unrealistic deadlines set by them never really end. And when they get the team pizza or expense whatever delivery for dinner, they make people feel like it's a favor they're doing the employees. Their technical teams don't follow any healthy project management methodologies. They went from Waterfall to Scrum to chaos. Hence, their unrealistic deadlines and unhealthy work schedules. *** As of the summer of 2014, I still can't easily schedule time with my ex-coworkers who've remained friends for lunch, happy hour or dinner because they continue to be slave driven by their management / executive team.

Limited growth; upper management looking for cheerleaders, not problem solvers

Pros

I've met some very interesting and intelligent people at Healthgrades. When afforded real autonomy and clear goals, the work we do can be challenging and interesting.

Cons

Little room for career growth, pay isn't great, often clueless management move towards buzzwords like flies to a light, despite protests and advice from the people they should trust.
