Pros

Since I've worked at pMD, the direction of the company and the product has changed several times. Despite the changes in goals, the core values of the team and the family-like feel has remained constant. This is what I love most about pMD --- it stays true to its values of a customer-first and high growth company. Because pMD has always been and always will be a customer-first company, it doesn't always make for the easiest job, but it is rewarding when you can see tangible results in helping out a patient or provider. For me, doesn't get more rewarding than being able to help an elderly patient use Telehealth so they can to get the medicine they need. The hyper growth culture at pMD is demanding, and your experience is completely dependent on the "you get out what you put in..." mentality, which means it isn't necessarily for everyone. While I would love for all my friends to work at pMD, I also understand that it wouldn't be a place where all my friends would thrive (some friends would, but not all). Strictly my experience, but I love the hyper speed focus because doing everything all at once is inherently part of who I am as a person as well. There have been big product direction changes recently, especially in engineering that contributed to initial confusion and biting our own tail, but the new product direction is super exciting, and I can't wait to see it come to fruition! The new change in direction has exposed some tough industry-related problems to solve, but tackling the difficult problems is what makes pMD different, special, and on track for hyper growth! While you do wear more than one hat at times, it also means you have many opportunities to develop new skills that will ultimately contribute to your career growth (either at pMD or elsewhere).

Cons

The wear multiple hats culture is a core part of pMD, so if you like the freedom of working with other departments, outside of your main role, on projects towards achieving a common goal, you will love it here. If you prefer to focus on strictly just the role title you were hired for (nothing wrong with that), then you may find it more difficult to feel fulfilled and part of the team. We do have some younger leaders, but all leaders started somewhere. pMD has started developing these new leaders and implemented consistent mentorship sessions between the newer leaders and the more experienced leaders.

Pros

pMD wants to turn the medical industry on it’s head by changing the way health care professionals use software. With that in mind, working at pMD and interacting with our customers is a constant reminder that change is necessary and needs to happen now. If you want to work for a company disrupting an industry that desperately needs it, this is your place. The work is challenging and nothing like you’ve ever done. Your job will not only be your title, but include a set of different and likely unfamiliar roles. You will support the customer, you will travel, you will educate, and you will learn to be autonomous. It's not for everyone, but can be rewarding for those that choose to work here. On a more fun note, the pMD office is located in the Presidio, which is a beautiful place to work. The office is large, open, and even has a full-size beer fridge. As we accomplish company goals, we go on company outings and trips that usually start and end with a healthy dose of alcohol.

Cons

As of today, pMD is still small, although not as agile or transparent as it could be. There is still a lot of growth to be had and internal changes will be necessary for it's success. If you don't like to travel, this is probably not the company for you - even as an engineer. Personally, I don't enjoy the travel to the extent that others do, but the upside are the miles that you accrue.
