Pros

Fast paced environment, constantly changing and evolving, inclusive and diverse workers, opportunity to move around and grow - IF you find the right team and boss, decent salary, free parking

Cons

Hiring policies - it seems that they don't get a lot of good applicants so they end up hiring just about anyone to fill an open spot without considering fit / alignment of skills and career objectives Attrition - very high turnover at all levels. Churn in senior management is especially concerning Lack of clear long-term vision

Pros

The company attracts very talented people. Also, the company's mission is very noble - helping people get the care that they need. The CARA/PA product line ensures individuals conditions are accurately documented so they can get the care that they need and enroll in programs that will help them. Similarly, the STAR product line ensures individuals get the right interventions at the right time to ensure quality of care. The company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Innovation Officer are truly smart and visionaries. Also, the company has grown tremendously since I started at Inovalon. The company needs people that are strong contributors with breadth and depth (but does not tolerate fakes or wanna bees). The company has a lot of growth opportunities. The key is having an internal champion, being a person that gets things done, and being liked by a VP. (This exists at all companies.)

Cons

The company is growing fast and experiencing growing pains. On the compensation side, the company pays fairly. The drawback is: If you want the bonus expect to put in crazy hours. Unfortunately, bonus is a function of time that you put in, not the quality of your work or what you get done. At other companies, if you continually put 80 hour weeks, you are seen as ineffective, incapable of leading change and/or delegating. At Inovalon, the more hours you put in, the more you are seen as committed. Too many front line employees complain about not being challenged and too many managers complain of doing too much work. A true leader builds a solid team and delegates meaningful responsibilities to the team. In short, Inovalon needs more true leaders. Leadership is thin at the VP and Sr. Director ranks (a few are good, but most are not seasoned and are clueless about true leadership). The company recognizes this and is developing programs to strengthen the middle management and upper management levels. Many people at the lower ranks get thrown into a "Set-up to fail" situation. If you are savvy and know how to highlight management proactively (or worse offload the luggage to someone else) then you should be fine. Unfortunately, politics and covering-your-ass symptoms are rampant in the company. But this exists in every company. Turn-over is high (unless the company keeps you with an H1b visa).

Pros

Good industry to be part of. Industry alignment is strong and offers opportunities for continued growth and stability. Salaries are fairly competitive. Employee Benefits are acceptable.

Cons

Leadership culture is so dollar-driven that it focuses entirely on making the sales promises and fails to care about the people that are responsible for delivering on those promises. Leadership decisions and justifications for promotions are questionable.
