Pros

Management listens to employee feedback. It is a start-up company so work is fast-paced but the team of talent and CEO/upper management care for it's employees is refreshing.

Cons

None, I hope as the company continues to grow leadership keeps the spirit of valuing it's employee's input!

Pros

As some of the reviews indicate, the company had struggled with some of the previous leadership. Now, the team seems to be stronger and more united under the current leadership. Teamwork is emphasized and employees feel heard.

Cons

It's hard any time there is a RIF, which can lead to hurt feelings and challenges. There's work to be done and the team is improving on it.

Pros

Any warm body can fill the seat! Proxima's clinical team will hire people with very little experience, so it is a chance to break into the industry and get experience. They will also promote from within, so you can move up faster than other companies even though you don't have the experience to perform the work that you are assigned. This still allows you to take the title and move to another company that has better training and opportunities. Unlimited vacation time (when they allow you to use it). Lots of paid days off (although many use these days to catch up on their work).

Cons

Very low pay compared to industry standards which is surprising because the company must fill the clinical spots with contractors, and the contractors are paid well. No annual bonuses and often no cost of living annual raises unless you beg or threaten to quit. When issues arise, the management team is either absent or micromanaging. The company is always understaffed, so each employee is overworked. There is no human resources team, so there is no ability to talk to anyone when problems arise. Proxima hires inexperienced people with no training plan, and they terminate employees routinely (either for being unable to quickly figure out how to do a job that no one trained them to do or simply because you didn't agree with the management team). They had a round of layoffs in 2023. For a company with such a SMALL clinical team, they didn't need a lot of the non-clinical staff.
