Pros

The best reasons at the time to work there really were the people. I met some of the most helpful coworkers I have ever met. QA was very easy to work with as well as my fellow coworker programmers. They also were pretty flexible in hours in that you could leave early and come in early (to beat the horrible rush hour). It usually was a 40 hour week.

Cons

Constant micromanagement and company politics. If someone didn't like you in the business or those in management they would try to make your life there painful. I worked on a disaster system that was always breaking. Every 6 months they would come up some critical issue like it was something new. 3 years of a every 6 month became a critical problem. The system was poorly designed and they never bothered to redesign it (which would have fixed the design flaws). The technologies used are legacy and the lagged behind several years at any other company. There was lack of room for growth and learning about other areas of there business. Most of all before I left they reorganized and got rid of some of the best middle management I have met who cared about the company and did good things for it.

Pros

Work from home, schedule, team members I had a good team. Everyone was very helpful when backup was needed to cover case loads. Work life balance was good considering this was a work from home position. Had a set 9-5 schedule.

Cons

Management, lack of promotion opportunities, compensation I do want to start by saying that the company did end up getting rid of the first manager I was under, but the damage had already been done. Completely disorganized and nobody knew what they were doing. A lot of unnecessary work was added to our plates. No real direction on employment growth. You're just kinda stuck in the same position with no signs of moving up in the company unless you're there for 10+ years. Pay is a joke for the amount of work that's expected. I really wanted to love working for this company but I just couldn't do it anymore. I am grateful I made the decision to leave. My physical, mental, and emotion health is so much better than when I worked for this company. I would say this is a good place to gain experience to put on a resume, but don't be hopeful for any life long meaning career.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re so glad (but not surprised) that you found the incredible team members, work-life balance and the ability to work from home to be elements of Healthe that you loved. These are definite contributors to our people voting us a Top Workplace in the US so although we’re not surprised by this, it’s always wonderful to hear it! It is also helpful to hear your perspective on some areas of concern. We have high expectations of our leaders and you didn’t have the experience we expect or require. It is however reassuring to know that the leadership issues you experienced were addressed so others don’t have a similar experience. We realize that talented, driven individuals need opportunities to learn new skills, work with advanced technologies and drive towards their own goals in order to wholeheartedly engage in their work and grow in their careers. This is true for all of us, so we place a lot of emphasis on personal and professional growth at Healthesystems. We strive for each individual to have a Development Plan in place that is actionable and supported by their leader and we have career paths defined and shared across the organization to help people to see opportunities to grow within the organization. Competitive compensation and benefits packages are also key to attracting and retaining talented folks, so each year we evaluate these things very closely and make any adjustments needed to ensure we remain competitive in these areas. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for the time you spent contributing to the Healthesystems team.
