connectRN Reviews

Absolutely zero possibility for advancement. They do not offer yearly raises other than a COLA and instead offer a max 5% bonus. The only way to get a genuine raise is to get promoted which they have made practically impossible. Instead of promoting people that have overperformed, they say that there needs to be a position available (this isn't even true). You are compared against your peers for this position which discourages teamwork and collaboration since it's all about how many tickets you've completed. There are unrealistic expectations that come from the top (product) and any closer examination of these expectations is frowned upon. Product is also way too focused on new enhancements and building atop poorly written code. When things inevitably go wrong, engineers are blamed. As others have mentioned, athena folks are prioritized and were all saved from the massive layoffs. In addition, connectRN heavily relies upon cheap contract labor which continues to pollute the applications with poorly written and rushed code.

I’m already out of here but let me tell you there’s so many red flags. Company had been doing “quiet firing” in the beginning of the year. Then they were cryptic about lay offs for over a month only for us to find out that the CFO had mismanaged money and the CEO/COO did not read the market right at all. One morning more than 20% of workers were suddenly laid off. Not shockingly, most if not all Athena associated workers had survived. All those remaining are expected to cover the work of +50 people with very little direction, and no end to this horrible situation in sight. Expectation is that everything is important and everything has to be done now even though every single department is under pressure. C-suite and their comrades of high up leaders just watch as everyone drowns and continues to hand more work out like it’s an Oprah show. Anything that goes awry, leadership will pretty much blame those who are covering for multiple and even teams of people, yet again, it was C suite/high up leaders who put us in this predicament. Don’t worry there is a healthy amount of gaslighting from above. They don’t care so long as they can squeeze every little effort they can out of us, pretty much no work life balance. There’s been so many negative reviews as of lately, and the company acknowledges this but doesn’t change or improve their culture in anyway because the CEO dances around issues and states that these are not real problems. The only thing holding the company together is commiseration and even then that runs dry.
