Pros

Many of the people who work(ed) here are brilliant, compassionate people whose goal is to better serve the patients and providers of PSJH. When the focus is on patients, the work is meaningful and impactful, both personally and organizationally. Also, working hours are hilariously relaxed, with engineers and product folks typically spending well under 40 hours a week with "butts in chairs," although many do work from home, as well.

Cons

An ongoing push to turn Digital Innovation into a profit center is drastically, and negatively, shifting focus from helping patients to selling product. Top resources are being dedicated to sales, executives are moving up the ranks, reorgs are happening every quarter, and under it all, the patient is forgotten. The turnover rate is silly, as the most mission-driven amongst us move to other positions and companies where we can actually generate the impact we intended when we started at PSJH. Reorgs and attrition have fundamentally altered the character of DIG. The vast majority of exec attention is spent on finding new profit centers, whether that's the venture capital component of Digital Innovation or trying to reinvent the wheel so it can be resold.

Pros

coworkers pay supporting people in community They post the same job in multiple locations because they are open to having that role exist in different locations in many cases (note the pay is also based on where as well though) Info for those reading reviews to get a picture: I'm United States, but India reviews should really be separate feedback entirely, paid less and fed daily (read location: Hyderabad).

Cons

My last management was completely toxic Had health issues and a valid claim that was ignored, only pressured Was pushed out by my management when they found out my salary Mgmt requested to submit feedback for improvement, then retaliated Since HR was outsourced and trying to protect the company from further lawsuits (I was not one but contemplated due to validity) of absolutely no help and honestly, completely inappropriate. You will be repeatedly asked to provide feedback, but it will be killed with a 1 on 1. If I had laid down and taken the angry repercussions of their poor process implementation, and their complete lack of accountability, I would still be there - I just would have transferred to another manager. Some managers and teams are more toxic than others, but favoritism and bullying are allowed and seen Overworked and under-represented but was great for several years.
