Pros

- interesting space with reimbursement tailwinds (APCM] - good pipeline of health system customers

Cons

- struggles badly to hire and retain experienced healthcare talent. Culture rewards volume over smart thinking, leading to burnout, churn, and a pretty toxic environment. - very little structure: unclear roles, weak or absent management, and constant internal competition instead of real ownership or collaboration. - leadership tends to “throw spaghetti at the wall” rather than take the time to plan. This shows up most during health system implementations, where mistakes are costly and totally avoidable. - growth numbers are misleading. What’s shared is mostly top-of-funnel (patient orders), while real engagement and retention are much lower. Many providers don’t see enough value to stick around, and the product feels niche. - company was clearly overvalued, and execution still hasn’t caught up to the hype.

Pros

If you are looking for an opportunity to really stretch yourself and take on a variety of different roles, this is the place. It is a great mix of both tech startup mentality pushing for growth along with driving towards clinical care and outcomes. Leadership is constantly looking to see what is possible and equipping individuals with cutting edge tools to make it a reality

Cons

Be ready to be pushed to your limit as Cadence expects the best. In a classic startup mentality, everyone is wearing multiple hats and balancing priorities, so days can be overwhelming and are definitely not the standard 9 to 5.

Pros

Having worked across Bay Area companies including both FAANG and early stage startups, I have seen examples of strong and weak culture and management. Cadence stands out as a place where high performers can truly do the best work of their careers and receive meaningful responsibility in return. Leadership consistently goes straight to the people closest to the problem rather than adding layers between decision makers and the work, which creates an especially rewarding environment for high performers. The mission is deeply meaningful with clear examples of improving and saving lives. The company’s trajectory is now on track to impact more than one million patients, yet there remains room for individuals to influence how that scale is reached. In my opinion, it's the ideal time to join for that reason.

Cons

Remote work culture is not for everyone. Requires high autonomy and self initiative. The regular offsites + gatherings are very thoughtfully planned - and yet remains that if wanting to be in office every day, Cadence is less likely a fit.
