Pros

It's a job. There's free soda. That's about it. Funny how many people talk about the stupid soda. You can pretty much coast day in and day out. I saw lots of new posts because I use the Glassdoor app, so I thought I'd write my review now too.

Cons

I'm thinking of leaving the company because of how depressing it's gotten lately. Many of the people I used to talk to have left the company, so coming into work isn't as fun as it used to be. The location isn't great. Salaries are under market value. That's a pretty standard complaint. I don't want to get into details that might get me fired, but the stuff that has been happening lately is concerning. I know a couple people are going to give their notice soon, and I really don't want to be here after that happens. It's going to be a bigger mess than it already is here.

Pros

- Very professional co-workers - a lot of autonomy, and people are always available to discuss things and answer questions/troubleshoot, no one will judge you for not knowing something - A large existing client base to iterate on - lifeIMAGE has been around for a longish time and is one of the major medical image platforms - this means we have a ton of data and network effects from a large install base - makes for fun projects only available at scale - Very knowledgable seniors - there are many people who have been here for a longish time (5-7+ years) who know the ins and outs of different systems and the reasons why things have evolved the way they have over time. Having that historical context is super helpful and incredibly educational - Autonomy and professionalism - really can't stress this enough. The CEO has been doing the healthcare tech thing for a long time, and it shows in how he runs the company. CTO is focused on future plans and has great ideas and a great network to make it happen. VP of Engineering is super pro and is great to work for. No micro-management, people are trusted to get stuff done.

Cons

This isn't necessarily a con, but lifeIMAGE's engineering is an enterprise environment. There is a lot of enterprise processes from various build systems, to nightly QA, and fairly specialized roles. I personally find this a major positive, because constantly context switching can cause less productivity and I'm especially focused on increasing specific skills (that I use everyday), but if you are an entrepreneurial full-stack type that wants to own an entire system and move fast/break things, this might not be the right fit.
