Influence Health doesn't exist - good riddance!

Pros

Unlimited PTO Great Coworkers Good health insurance plan

Cons

Terrible leadership who drove the company down the drain until it was cheap enough for Healthgrades to buy for a song. No one on the executive team ever knew what anyone's job duties were so when layoffs came, it was just a matter of favoritism. CEO was supposedly a strategist and a technical innovator, but he didn't know anything about the products or the people behind them. Cloak-and-dagger executive team who hid important information from employees, telling them up to acquisition announcement day that everything was fine and not to worry, go ahead and make your 2019 plans.

Pros

High technical aptitude among the rank and file. Massage facility downstairs. Opportunity to use some of the best technology. Researched new methodologies.

Cons

Nepotism was rampant. Few promotions for current employees as the friend of someone with influence often was installed before interviews occurred with those on the inside Chaos erupted beginning in 2011. Many GREAT managers (and a few not-so-great) were let go while (I assume) better-connected, less-capable managers remained. Product design was not epistemic at all. There was no wealth of evidence that could overturn the misguided opinion of a manager -- unless it saved money or time. Jargon was the preeminent currency, even if it had no financial backing. I'm quite sure that some people were promoted through their presentation of a preponderance of meaningless techie-sounding words hastily concatenated and finalized by a declarative smirk. Some employees did an amazing job while working in a particular area for a good manager, but after moving to a different area with a different manager, they'd be gone within a few months. I never heard any of them express concerns and many of them appeared to be just as productive as ever. It seems that perhaps merit is a lower priority than manager whims.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Working alongside such talented, passionate people is one of the things I enjoy most about working for Influence Health. We do have a team of highly technical employees with the opportunity to work with innovative, cutting-edge technology. The time you reference in 2011 was a time of record growth and expansion for the company that included an acquisition. Market shifts in healthcare priorities can have ripple effects which necessitate organizational change and focus. We believe that ultimately the focus of healthcare should be the healthcare consumer and the company aligned accordingly post ACA. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your endeavors.
