Pros

Great First Job for those first out of school. Benefits are average. Eclectic atmosphere to work

Cons

Young people lead who have absolutely no experience. There are racial undertones there that are questionable. management decisions are biased.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We agree that athena is a great place to start your career! For many, this has been a great place to grow long-term. We value an environment where people with different backgrounds are invited to share their perspectives and experiences. If you have specific examples that are contrary to that value and would like to discuss privately, we'd love to hear from you! Please e-mail askathena@athenahealth.com.

Pros

Sometimes they have beer, but you have to 'ask your manager first". But if you are lucky enough, to get one beer in your overworked, frustrating day, don't forget to take a picture of your beer and tag it as #athenaculture. Just so everyone knows that its a 'cool place to work'.

Cons

Terrible micro managing- Managers are eager to prove they have leadership skills or something, because every email you send, every mistake you make, is heavily scrutinized. Overworked- Expect to work 45+ hours a week, especially if you are in Implementation. The turn over in this department is staggering (hence the mass group interviews- get as many bodies on the floor as possible.) I have never in my 10+ years experience seen a company that talks so extensively about how amazing and collaborative their culture is, and just does not by any stretch of the imagination, even try to make that a reality. Burn out in the Implementation dept is an acknowledged problem, but as long as you work there for 6+ months, they've gained their ROI and more, so there is no motivation to improve the department. They will for the entirety of your tenure, dangle the possibility of moving to a different department or position, but as soon as you think about voicing your opinion on something that could need improvement or preform slightly below their expectations, they will use that knowledge to almost blackmail you until you step back in line. Literally do not tell them your aspirations because it will be used against you.
