Pros

Seemed to have an innovative idea which aimed to improve medicine.

Cons

Quite possibly the worst company in San Francisco and beyond. Management from the CEO to Operations to HR to scribe management are all embarrassingly terrible. Coming from a well established and well managed company that isn’t running itself into the ground like Augmedix is, I have never seen such an astonishing debacle. Augmedix management refuses to take outside guidance or advice. People with zero business experience are attempting to run a business, but again, it’s halfway in the ground and will be gone completely soon. Technology is outdated and laughable, they violate employment laws left and right, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I don’t need to repeat the reviews of others as you can read them yourself. If you want to be part of a failing company that has blown millions in investor money for something that will be replaced by AI in a year or two, by all means, apply — best of luck. I am sure I will get the standard “Augmedix CEO reply” to this, but readers beware, they will say anything to lure you in. Don’t fall for it like I, and many others, did.

Augmedix Response
8y
Thank you for sharing your concerns. I am sorry to hear you left the company with a negative perception, I wish we could have clarified earlier. I can assure you these are not standard responses. We make an explicit effort to be transparent - we are open about good news and not-so-good news. For most of these responses, I draft and the Augmedix Chief of Staff/People team reviews. I sometimes need to reach out to other departments to confirm information and make sure I respond accurately. Either way, I personally agonize over every one of these replies. I’m not sure that people at Augmedix are paid *lavishly* in cash or other flashy startup benefits that you often hear about these days. There isn’t a “mahogany row” here (unlike some of the prior companies that I worked at, before founding Augmedix - really frustrated me). We have an appropriately frugal and serious culture that is oriented around long term outcomes (and incented accordingly, in a measured way). I’m not aware of employment laws that we violate. If you know of something, please elevate to me ASAP. I’m deeply sorry that things didn’t work out for your here at Augmedix. I’ve also had not-so-great career experiences in my path. During the time, I was confused and upset, but in hindsight, I learned a lot for the ups and the downs. All the best.
