Schizo "culture"

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Significant market share, well-known, positive reputation (although slipping), well funded (thanks to FMC)

Cons

present a "certain" culture (although not original - copied by COO directly from Davita) characterized by promoting collaboration, positioning you as SME (particularly if you have oversight of a department), "give" (very few "earn" anything) you a "voice" & "seat @ the table", emphasize metrics in performance management but choose when to use or not to use depending upon who knows what .....reality is jess_rob make all decisions, often times w/o informing of significant changes (the budget process & due diligence on acquisitions-especially Cogent- could be SNL skits), repeatedly set unrealistic expectations (seemingly memories are erased of new sites losing $250K monthly) ......arrival of COO & his vision of "culture" in 2011 has resulted in incredibly political environment Key people that have built the company have left & to advance/survive, is well known must be either FOR or FOJ

Values/Mission is all a facade. They don't walk the walk

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance was reasonable

Cons

1.Upper management is all a facade. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. 2. Management does not have understanding of what each persons roles are. They never asked or spent a day getting to know my role and how it impacts the company. 3. Unfair firing of staff without formal investigation. 4. Encouraged drinking and staying out late at National conference and scolded for going to bed early so we could prepared for next day conference. 5. HR was always loosing things and messing up on reimbursement. 6. Doctors were not held accountable for their actions

Pros

Cons

always got my paycheck wrong then acted as if they didn't mean to when I caught them repeatedly. 401k match is peanuts and the health insurance gets worse every year.
