Pros

Amazing mission --- helping providers and patients better communicate! Some really smart people work here.

Cons

No leadership. The founders are so overwhelmed they can't stay above water. HR is clueless and not supportive. When sexual harassment complaints are filed, HR tells people to "WORK IT OUT." No standard approach to performance or productivity --- just depends if your manager likes you or not. New hires in leadership positions with NO EXPERIENCE in healthcare or IT. Working as an analyst at a hospital or consulting firm does not equate to the experience required to be a EVP, Partner, or C-level contributor. Some new leadership hires have blatantly lied about their experience and they continue to run their teams into the ground with no intervention from the top --- you cannot just "pretend" to have sales experience when you do not. Compensation is all over the map. Some people are insanely overpaid, and others are significantly below market averages. This also has ZERO to do with experience, but more who your friends are. If the founders like you, you can basically do no work and skate by.

Thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts and opinions about working here at CipherHealth. We're really sorry to hear that you feel this way. As the review indicates you are still with us, we truly hope you are open to having honest conversations with your manager and/or myself to talk some things through. We'd like to share facts about the things you mentioned. Our doors are always open. I do feel responsible for addressing a few of the more serious issues you raised. We do have a great mission and many, many smart people working here. A lot of our team and leadership has extensive years of experience – including in healthcare. We are proud of our people and the work they do every day – engaging with customers to drive change in this important vertical that impacts millions of lives each day. We just finished our annual round of Anti-Discrimination and Sexual Harassment training and reviewed our internal process for handling and communicating with the entire organization, including a special session for managers. If there is ANY complaint that falls into this area, the HR and management teams are legally obligated to follow up, and would do so in every single situation to ensure the highest level of behavioral standards are set and adhered to every day. We are committed to creating and nurturing an environment based on trust and respect. We do have a formal check-in process for discussing performance and giving feedback and this process is now tied to our annual compensation cycle. We have also just begun a major compensation market pricing exercise that will enable us to assess and analyze our pay strategy and its execution across the organization. Our initial findings are showing that we have done a pretty decent job as we scaled very quickly over the past 18 months due to our growth! We are pleased with how it is going and look forward to finalizing this project this summer. Finally – on the new hires in leadership… We have a very rigorous, multi-stage process for hiring at all levels at CipherHealth. We are looking for smart people, who are committed to driving change in healthcare through working with our customers at every level. We are proud of the team we are building!

Pros

Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy

Cons

Excessive Meetings & High Turnover The company schedules numerous meetings that disrupt workflow and don’t always add value. This, combined with high employee turnover, creates an unstable environment where projects are constantly in flux. Frequent Reorganizations Job title changes occur without proper notice, leading to confusion and uncertainty. These frequent shifts, coupled with quarterly layoffs, leave employees feeling insecure about their roles. Toxic Work Environment The culture has become increasingly toxic, with a focus on reprimands instead of constructive feedback. Many employees operate on edge, which negatively impacts morale and productivity. Inconsistent Treatment of Employees While performance reviews may include praises and there's no formal performance improvement plan in place, it is disheartening that good employees are still let go. This inconsistency contributes to a feeling of instability and unfairness. Lack of Bonuses The absence of bonuses stems from the company's unrealistic objectives, which often seem designed to avoid financial rewards for employees, creating frustration and disillusionment. No Clear Growth Strategy There is a noticeable absence of a coherent strategy for sustainable business growth. Constant cost-cutting measures and position eliminations appear to be attempts to artificially boost financials rather than fostering genuine progress. Deterioration of Workplace Culture Once considered a great place to work, CipherHealth now suffers from a declining atmosphere, contributing to employee dissatisfaction and increased turnover.
