Pros

Open vacation time, ability to work from home. Great work life balance. Good health care packages

Cons

- Extremely poor management - Directionless, entire teams let go. - Nepotism from CEO. - No continuity. - Hire people that are not afraid of learning something new, rather than shutting programs down because they don't understand.

Unclear vision and repeated firing of leads and teams made me leave

Pros

My review is for epocrates / athenahealth sf. Nice Offices: The new SF office is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately it feels empty and I wonder who will occupy it next. Thorough on boarding: The onboarding of new employees was second to none. I was so excited and full of energy starting into my job. Good educational opportunities: athena truly values teaching and learning as a culture. There's countless educational opportunities. Take advantage of them. The other offices: Based on my experience I cannot recommend the local office but if you're passionate about healthcare IT then I would recommend looking at the other offices.

Cons

My review is for epocrates / athenahealth sf. Unclear vision: Wasted energy on ever changing visions without addressing the very real issues of existing core businesses. Hire and fire culture: In my short time I could count the number of senior leaders getting axed on two hands. Mediocre benefits: The benefits were not bad but not good either. There were no stock options and the health insurance options were disappointing.

Pros

the day to day people are all fun, smart, talented, genuine people. they are all a blast and i loved every min with them. lots of work life flexibility and great work-life balance

Cons

The leader of epocrates is only concerned with herself and has her own agenda. no career growth salary bands, part of athena and a result of the acquisition, limit your pay no resources being put towards epocrates business unless you are junior, you won't have career growth. senior leadership actually said that they "disliked when people asked about promotions..." (um, how else do you get to the next level...?)
