Run Away from this Company

Pros

Remote Work and Good Pay

Cons

One of the worst companies I have worked in. This company and leadership have no idea what they want to do and how to do it. They keep on changing teams (topology) every few months. They have done multiple layoffs in a year and almost half of the company has gone. They had one year but still couldn't reduce their spends or simplify their product. Oh and they love doing expensive offsites (so much for a remote company) and then laying off people a month later. The work moves very slow. Learning is very less. They grew exponentially during covid which they leveraged well to get funded and then spent all that. Now they are going to go bust soon as competition is catching up and they don't get funding without which they cant survive. The only way to increase their runway is layoffs. Stay Away and save yourself!!

Pros

Some of the most amazing, talented peers I have ever met in my career, sadly also got let go when I did. Opportunities for immense growth and innovation only to get bogged down by layers of indecisive “leaders” with vague envisions. My salary was well above the average salary for this type of role which gives you insight to this company’s overspending (LOTS of unnecessary “on-sites”)

Cons

Where do I even begin? The flexibility of working remote comes with its benefits, but this company abused this option. Committed workers were often working 10-12 hours, often missing meals and time spent with loved ones or for oneself. The back to back meetings were superfluous, often a call of whoever could fit the most buzzwords the loudest. We’d be lucky to “get 2 minutes back of our time”. Great talent was often over utilized and under-appreciated. Simply put, if you were good at something, now you have to do all of it. Massive overselling and overpromising to clients with minimal mitigation plans in place to resource and execute. No software is perfect, but for a software company to forego quality on a clinical trial platform is a massive nightmare. Software folks with little to no clinical trial experience developing tools and software to be used in clinical trials. With these broken tools, everyone from pre-sales to design to implementation to quality was affected. Bugs often meant you couldn’t get your work done and then no one knew how to fix it. I was so severely burnt out when I got let go, I decided I never wanted to work in this industry again. Imagine a devoted hardworking employee coldly disconnected from Slack/zoom/email with no time to say goodbyes is heartless. Good thing they encouraged you to use your personal cell phone device as a means of communication. For a company that boasts inclusivity, feminism and “disruption” for innovation, it was quite the opposite. Obvious favoritism was often played by the “boys’ club”, it was always a matter of who was friends with who.

Yikes! I’d give it a zero.

Pros

1/2 day Fridays in the summer. Unlimited PTO. Good friendships built through Medable trauma bonding.

Cons

I am not even sure where to begin. I started at this company so behind the mission, the CEO, and was a number one hype person. Times have changed, folks. No one trusts the CEO. No one trusts C suites.. who literally don’t do anything but make rash decisions. No one knows when the next round of layoffs , I think that would be 5(?), is going to take place. They care about money, which is 100% normal for a company, but they don’t have any and the employees are taking the hit. The product sucks and the worker bees are the ones who get yelled at about it. Clients are beyond frustrated. Get out while you can!
