Pros

Great culture, I like working here and the people are smart and very nice

Cons

As with any company acquiring other companies regularly, they have some technical debt that is being worked on. But it can cause some frustration depending which department you work in.

Pros

Waystar is a warm, welcoming, and inclusive workplace where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the positive energy and strong sense of community that define the culture. Colleagues are supportive, collaboration is encouraged, and diversity of thought and experience is genuinely appreciated. It’s an environment where people feel they belong, can be themselves, and are inspired to do their best work every day.

Cons

After 60 days with Waystar, I can honestly say I haven’t found any real drawbacks. If anything, my only regret is not discovering this company earlier in my career. From day one, I’ve felt welcomed, supported, and valued by both leadership and my colleagues. The culture is positive, collaborative, and focused on helping employees succeed. While I’m still relatively new, my experience so far has exceeded expectations, and I’m excited about the opportunities ahead. Looking back, I only wish I had joined the Waystar team sooner.

Great culture and learning opportunities, but low pay

Pros

Great culture & people - the people at Waystar are what makes it such a great place to work. Lots of opportunities to learn & grow - Waystar as an org has very high expectations. This is a good thing, especially when you are early in your career because you will learn a ton, and get a lot of experience working above and beyond the market expectations for your title. It's a great place to start your career, get a ton of great experience, and then leave for a major pay bump. Fun environment - I genuinely enjoyed working at Waystar. It's a fun place to work, great coworkers, fun travel, etc. Recognition - Waystar does a great job of recognizing team members for big contributions. I felt genuinely seen, appreciated, and valued for my work.

Cons

Salary & total comp - the base salaries are very low relative to the market. Even with bonuses, total comp is definitely in the bottom half. It starts to feel like the fast pace and the high expectations aren't really worth it Benefits - for being in the healthcare space, Waystar has very expensive health insurance compared to everywhere else I've worked Lack of opportunity to move up - there is no framework for promotions so growth really comes down to the whims of leadership. Promotions are very few and far between for almost everyone I worked with. Prioritization is scattered - cross-functional leadership is never aligned on priorities, and certain teams and departments seem to genuinely not know what they're doing.
