Could be so much better

Pros

Interesting work and complex issues to resolve. Small startup means there’s opportunities to contribute. Technology is great and makes an important impact on the health care industry. Co-workers were great (not including management).

Cons

Poor middle management. The department leads struggle to provide a cohesive vision to their employees. Sometimes it seems like they are always on the same page. Some managers don’t demonstrate the respect and trust in their subordinates that they should. High turnover and that may be related to limited growth opportunities. I can’t say enough how many times someone in a higher position left the company and was replaced by an external higher. Seldom do entry level employees grow into expansive roles. Below market pay.

A lot to be desired

Pros

Great people. Super hard working and driven. A lot of teamwork is shown to rally and solve problems.

Cons

Really poor employee structure. There is zero opportunity for growth but they will throw a ton of work on your plate. They use the guise of being social impact to pay people way below market value, do not promote or give title changes to the hard workers that are there and provide no professional development. They seem to hire people right out of college or without a lot of experience so the energy feel chaotic and minimally effective. Managers are not effective or experienced and do not go to bat for their employees. There is little flexibility in terms of benefits and they seem to be designed to discourage people from taking time off. If you have a family or want a family, this is really not the place for you.
