Pros

Remote work (for now) but all future hires are restricted to driving distance to an office. Most of the staff are great to work with.

Cons

Over promise & under deliver REGULARLY. For a company that states they use data to empower clinical decisions, they certainly do not use data to inform anything internally. They spend countless hours, money & resources on developing products that are unsellable while neglecting product enhancement requests from customers that would keep them competitive and then are shocked when they lose customers, awards, etc.. They invest in training & speakers for sales that admit they have ZERO experience selling inthe healthcare space & act as if there is nothing different in healthcare vs general consumer goods. The employee benefits have gone from bad to worse over the years. 2026 medical is through Meritain, who has the WORSE satisfaction ratings by both consumers & clinicians. Their time off is one bucket for sick & vacation. Promotions are very restricted & cumbersome that makes it so you have to quit & come back if you want to move up. The majority of product management & engineering is being moved to India while the CEO continues to say having the whole of the company together in office for better collaboration is the way to go. They again say they are a data company but yet all their data for internal processes such as sales, leads, marketing, etc.. is never correct & so reporting is never really accurate & sales struggles with updating simple information.

Pros

The company was a great place to work under the leadership of its founder and CEO. It offered strong products, a positive culture, and exceptional sales leadership. However, after the founder and president departed, the company’s direction and leadership changed significantly, impacting the overall employee experience.

Cons

Since the leadership transition, the focus appears to have shifted away from employees and more toward financial performance and investor perception. The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs, while at the same time hiring sales representatives who often seemed underprepared for the role. Much of the enablement function was reduced or eliminated, with an increasing reliance on AI-driven solutions. Leadership within my department was challenging (toxic). There was a noticeable tendency to favor individuals brought in from a previous company, which negatively impacted morale and team dynamics - leadership was clueless . The leadership style often came across as inflexible, with limited openness to alternative perspectives or collaboration. It was a “I know best because I’m so experienced so it should be THIS way” mentality . As a result, cross-functional relationships suffered (sales leaders didn’t respect dept leadership) and there was little partnership with sales leadership to reinforce training and enablement initiatives. One bright spot was the Sales Engineering organization. The team was highly skilled, well-respected, and led by an exceptional leader who fostered a strong culture and delivered real value to the business. Overall, while the company offers solid products and has talented people in certain areas, the culture, leadership decisions, and ongoing organizational instability make it difficult for me to recommend as a long-term career destination.
