Drastic Downhill Since March 2016

Pros

My direct VP and Manager are great to work with. The other Engineers are very knowledgeable, and the collaboration amongst engineers is great.

Cons

The hiring of a new CIO in March 2016 has drastically (and I don't use that word lightly) negatively affected the corporate culture in Engineering. Prior to March 2016, the engineering culture was great! The engineers (web, database, QA, Helpdesk) were a happy bunch of people who really liked where they worked. No one was looking to work elsewhere. In the last 5 months (since the new CIO was hired) the morale amongst engineers has steadily degraded. I've seen C-level hirings and firings a number of times in my career, and there is always some upheaval that goes with it. This is not the normal upheaval - it's a complete shift in corporate culture. It's now a place where no one wants to be. A large majority of the engineers are now openly looking for positions elsewhere. The people who say that they are not looking are the exception.

I appreciate your candid feedback. It’s important to me that the team feels supported and has the means to be successful. I’m committed to preserving and cultivating the challenging and rewarding environment Healthgrades already has, and part of that means being transparent with one another about what is and isn’t working. I’d love to have a further conversation with you about the issues you’ve described here, if you’re willing. We have an extremely talented group of engineers, and I want to make sure they are part of creating the right path forward for our company. Again, if you’re willing to chat more with me, I’d appreciate the opportunity. Thanks again for your feedback. - CJ Singh, EVP Technology and CIO

Pros

The people are great.

Cons

Management must make so much money that they don't care how the company is run. The technical area is a disaster. We've lost over 20% of our workforce in the last few months. People are leaving because of management.

Pros

Exceptional PTO and the chance to work with a strong portfolio of services for consumer and B2B audiences.

Cons

While the portfolio has strong footing in Healthgrades' markets, the company has weakened its outlook with poor management. Leadership seems voracious to acquire smaller businesses, but their lack of execution, product management acumen and operational competency compromises many of the benefits their acquisitions should provide. When I worked there, leadership splurged for a company that was struggling and didn't have a compelling portfolio. Almost all the employees from the acquired company soon quit after coming to Healthgrades. In the end, I question if these acquisitions do much more than drain cash from the company. Leadership also wanted to be innovative but didn't show the discipline or know-how needed to learn their customers' needs, develop relevant products and craft effective go-to-market strategies. I saw smart, organized and gritty product developers leave the company, because they couldn't see a way to get anything done. Personally, I found it difficult to do anything more than spin my wheels. Further more, if I tried to add value, it often made some people insecure. Office politics and idiosyncratic management practices made it difficult to roll up my sleeves. I worked with some smart, driven people, but there were too many hurdles to accomplish much.
