Pros

Plenty of opportunities to learn and develop. Values of the company are great and benefits are above average.

Cons

As a remote employee you have no work life balance. Management tolerates poor behavior and only promotes based on who you know. The consulting practice burns employees out quickly and has no idea how to staff properly. There is also a large amount of nepotism. The great benefits are amazing, but you have no time to use them. If you play sheep and do not speak up for yourself and buddy up with someone you will make it far in your career. If you challenge your ideas, and morals you will be burned. Good luck.

Pros

Brilliant CEO. Working on the front lines of health systems work with clients across the nation in a well-respected company. Challenging and fast-paced work environment. Good benefits and good employee reward and recognition program. Opportunity to work with very nice colleagues who are very talented from across the country.

Cons

There is a mismatch between the company's stated values and the kinds of behaviours that are tolerated by senior leaders. Most members of executive leadership came from consulting and apply the consulting mindset to the company as a whole (e.g. flying by the seats of their pants and approaching every activity as if it is a new consulting project that requires a new way of doing things). That is fine for some parts of the business, but much of the work needs discipline and structure and a commitment to developing some deep routine operational structures. In addition, executive leadership has a high tolerance for bad behavior, bordering on abusive, from senior leaders. The latter is one example of the values mismatch -- the CEO prides herself on being employee-focused and invested in creating a positive culture. But then she tolerates incredibly unprofessional (and unproductive) behaviours from her leadership team. This is incredibly demoralizing for the staff, many of whom are expected to be available 24-7-365.
