Pros

Remote work. Flexible time off.

Cons

-C-suite has become an old boys club of nepotism hires from Texas. -Engineering infrastructure is abysmal. Product direction feels nonexistent. -Company feels like it is dying a slow death with rounds of surprise layoffs after losing several customers. -Check chasing for their biggest 1-2 customers and not really building a solid product line or iterating on existing products. -Frequently eliminating long-standing roles and replacing them with paper "Director/Lead" titles that are unqualified for the position and have little understanding of what business needs are. -All employees outside of c-suite are expected to be individual contributors. Managers are doing more IC work than managing. -Pay is lower end of mid-range for a startup/scale up of this size. -Almost 0 promotions happened in 2 years, outside of last-resort efforts to retain a few people during large periods of turnover. -Stopped showing attrition metrics in monthly meetings out of embarrassment (was >40% at one point).

Pros

Clear mission with real impact: Janus Health focuses on some of the most complex and broken parts of the revenue cycle. The work matters, and customers feel the difference when our solutions are implemented. Strong domain expertise: Leadership and teams bring deep experience from Epic, consulting, and healthcare operations, which shows up in how thoughtfully products are designed and deployed. High-caliber, committed people: Teams are smart, driven, and collaborative. People genuinely care about customers and about doing things the right way, not just the fastest way. Room to grow and influence: Because the company is still scaling, individuals can have real ownership, shape strategy, and see the direct results of their work. Transparency and access: Leaders are accessible, communication is direct, and there’s a strong emphasis on alignment around priorities and outcomes.

Cons

Fast pace with evolving structure: Like many growing healthcare tech companies, priorities can shift, and processes are still maturing. This can feel uncomfortable for people who prefer highly established systems. High expectations: This is not a place to coast. The bar is high, and accountability is real—especially for leaders. Growing pains: As the company scales, there are ongoing needs around role clarity, change management, and balancing speed with sustainability.

Pros

- Individual contributors who care about clients and each other.

Cons

- Four rounds of layoffs in the past 18 months. Each one executed without a plan for how to handle the fallout of unfilled roles and with the empty promise of no layoffs in the future. - Three years without raises, two years without bonuses. The bonus structure disproportionately benefited management over individual contributors. - Rampant nepotism (after the removal of the non-nepotism clause from the employee handbook). New management hires are almost exclusively from the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas and either ex-employees or ex-coworkers of ELT. - Laughable benefits. No 401k matching, expensive insurance premiums, unlimited PTO that was implicitly stated to not be unlimited multiple times via email by the "Director of People". Paternal leave eliminated, maternal leave reduced. - No HR team. No ability to provide anonymous, formal complaints. - The de facto policy is to no longer promote from within. - Avoidable breaking changes have been pushed to production multiple times due to the layoff of the entire QA team.
