Pros
I've read some of the negative reviews about CAQH and those are just completely different from my experience. The common theme among those negative reviews seems to be they were written by reviewers who are not a good fit for a small and growing organization. At CAQH, if you ask, you get an answer. Everyone here is approachable. . . . even the CEO. If your career path isn't clear here, or if you're unclear about your role or the rules, then you are not asking the right questions. Every organization - large or small has challenges and things that frustrate their employees. In the case of CAQH, it is a relatively small and growing organization; not every little process or procedure is detailed in writing and there can be some unpredictability as the organization responds to things outside of its control. However, this also presents opportunities for those who take initiative and want to contribute. If you're looking for a large organization where everything is prescribed and there's little room for change, then don't bother applying here. If you're looking for an organization where you will be challenged with opportunities to learn and contribute in meaningful ways, then this is a great place to do so. The people are amazing. Management cares and listens. There is a pervasive sense of shared purpose. You will learn a lot. Offices are beautiful.
Cons
Is it perfect here? No. Is it close enough? Yes - if you take initiative and ownership of your own career goals; if you want to be part of the solution; and are willing to be flexible and help the organization response to changing needs. There is opportunity here - a great deal of it.
