Pros

I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews about Imprivata engineering lately. They’re not wrong, but these problems are limited to one particular subgroup and do not reflect on the rest of the department. The rest of engineering enjoys a relatively low-stress work environment, great work/life balance, meaningful work with happy customers, and great colleagues. I’ve been working in the industry for decades and have enjoyed my time here more than at any other company. We are making a real difference.

Cons

The cloud team. Terribly managed and seems to always be in death march mode. Work/life balance is nonexistent, and the inmates are in charge of the asylum.

Pros

New CEO is smart, capable, and doing a good job Benefits were good Catered lunch in the office each Wednesday

Cons

Toxic middle management - yelling, tantrums, and retaliation on top of extreme incompetence. Managers fail to lead and are essentially micromanagers of tasks. They create meaningless work, stress out about it, and fail to validate the business need at any point in the process. When you suggest and deliver something of actual value, you will receive no credit. Honestly this was the worst experience of my entire professional career and I’ve never been so thankful to leave an organization.
