Pros

The people, impact to patients, cool technology, health insurance through Bind is very affordable.

Cons

Pay is lower than competitors, poor bonus payout, poor raises, impossible to be promoted, too focused on social image instead of patient outcomes, and too focused on speed and agility which is making them lose sight of quality.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
