Pros

Employees are authentic and genuinely enjoy working with each other; solid benefits with strong PTO allotment

Cons

**Beware the overwhelmingly positive - but noticeably short - reviews left here in 2022** The Health Management Academy used to be a company I gladly referred old colleagues to, but no longer. Since its acquisition by a PE firm a few years ago, the company has taken on a growth-above-all mindset. Executive leadership will say working at a growth company means new opportunities for employees to leave their comfort zone and gain skills and experiences in new roles ... In reality, it has meant multiple new products being launched without a full delivery strategy in place, leaving some teams an overwhelming amount of work while others twiddle their thumbs. And it has meant an exodus of tenured talent who understood what made the company special not only as a workplace, but as a unique community for healthcare executives. The worst kept secret inside the company is nearly all of its senior leadership - from CEO and President to HR, sales, and content - all share a common past employer. This ABC to HMA pipeline has created an easy landing spot for company alums seeking their next gig. But to no surprise, it has resulted in a classic groupthink mindset, one where any hires at director or above from outside the network rarely make it more than a year.

Toxic culture - be warned!

Pros

You will work with some fun people and if you are part of the forums or events, you will travel to some beautiful locations for work.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Not a meritocracy at all! Performance means less than willingness to toe the company line on everything. The company is run by a small number of (mostly female) former employees at The Advisory Board, who couldn't hack it there and are importing some of the worst behaviors from that firm to HMA. The sales and account management teams are particularly known for backbiting, politics, and terrible management. Senior and midlevel leaders with new or different ideas are quickly ushered out.

Toxic management, high turnover

Pros

Remote flexibility was nice. Had a few amazing co-workers who I loved working with.

Cons

Extremely toxic environment for early career professionals. You are micro-managed and are expected to work like a machine. Feedback is not accepted and employees are gaslit when bringing concerns to HR. If you get put on a product that isn't selling well, you'll likely get put on a PIP so they can blame you for their product's poor performance. Favoritism is rampant and employees who do little work are praised and promoted.
