Pros

- Great place for an entry level person starting out. - Free Lunch - Known for their high quality compensation data set - BCBS Healthcare is great - Most individual contributors are really nice -Management knows their internal processes well.

Cons

-Upper Management is haphazard with poor communication. -VC's are squeezing every ounce of profit at the expense of employees. -Pay is docked for not hitting in office participation quota. -RIF's are used to remove older workers and alleviate their salary compression issue. -Goals and priorities are constantly changing. -Tasks are constantly added then focus shifts to something new. Not well thought out. - The constant changes make it feel like a test environment for a business case. Changes are not well thought out and poorly implemented. And then scrapped when they fail. - There is little regard for the individual contributor. - Advancement opportunities are dependent on political circle not performance. -Base pay is low. Takes 4 years to make competitive industry compensation.

Culture & Leadership Suck

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

The company has a strong base of intelligent, driven individual contributors who work hard and consistently show resilience despite the environment. There is real talent here and a clear opportunity for success if it were properly supported.

Cons

Leadership is a major issue. There is a lack of alignment, organization, and accountability at the top, which creates confusion and constant shifts in priorities and targets. Promotions and recognition feel disconnected from actual performance. There is a noticeable pattern of individuals advancing based on loyalty, visibility, or taking credit for others’ ideas rather than delivering measurable results. Cross-functional leadership is dysfunctional, with silos and poor communication slowing down progress. As a result, the business struggles to gain traction, and sales performance stagnates because the same ineffective leadership behaviors are allowed to continue unchecked. Trauma culture. The culture is reactive and unhealthy due to ongoing instability and lack of direction.
