Pros

If you like being managed every step of the way and would like approval for every small or big decision, this is the right job for you. Typical of a small start-up company, the CEO is very hands on and involved in every aspect of your job. Regardless of what position you are in, the CEO will want you to receive his approval. This company is good for people that like to be micro-managed and want constant feedback. You will have many opportunities to restart your work from zero and make a better and innovative product.

Cons

This job could be the worst nightmare of your life. You will quickly realize that the app has not sold despite millions of dollars spent on recruiting employees, doctors, and patients. Although I was employed at a great company, I believed in the vision of the CEO and left my well-paid job. After about a year, I realized that this app was never going to appeal to hospitals, doctors, or patients. This was a simple flop. A huge failure. Since the CEO is in denial or simply trying to keep investors' dollars, he keeps inventing and reinventing the product and it fails every time. As a developer, you will face a completely broken source code with an infrastructure in shambles, and it does not get better. Try fixing that. As every honest reviewer has pointed out, the CEO is the biggest problem in the company and he will continue to blame others until he realizes that he and the product itself is a simple failure. There will be an immense amount of pressure working in this environment and I would like to warn my fellow colleagues to think very carefully before taking a job with this company. To sum up the cons, it will be extreme pressure, constantly changing direction, and zero employee appreciation.

Medici Response

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. While negative feedback can sometimes be hard to accept, we know that there is always room for improvement based on the inputs of our employees (both past and present). Medici is a start-up and the business opportunity we are focused on addressing isn't easy. Start-ups aren’t for everyone; And personalities don’t always work harmoniously - which can be frustrating and create a less-than-ideal deal fit for some. Contrary to what you have articulated here, the Medici engineering team is very solid. Our product is more stable than it ever has been, and new features for our doctors and patients are being introduced regularly. Thanks to incredibly hard work of our global teams, our network of doctors and patients continue to grow, and we are excited about the future for Medici and the people that it serves.

Pros

The team at MediciMD is passionate about their mission and committed to employing a phenomenal team. Culture is a priority. The mission of the company is one that employees can believe in and feel really good about.

Cons

Employees at Medici may need to be prepared to be dynamic and flexible with their work as the industry of healthcare technology is rapidly changing and will require adaptation. Thus, this job may not be for those who are interested in unchanging routine.

Pros

The workload is predictable and the pay is steady.

Cons

- Supervisors are obsessed with control and micromanagement instead of guidance. - Every small task is inspected as if employees cannot be trusted to think for themselves. - Independence is nonexistent, and even basic decisions require unnecessary approval. - The constant surveillance crushes confidence and drains any motivation to do well. - Morale is destroyed by the need to constantly prove you are working rather than being allowed to simply do your job.
