Pros

From the outside there are many pros to working for this company. Great benefits, people, and the flexibility. I am not listing pay for a number of reasons which will be listed in the Cons section. Depending on the department, you either have a great work experience, or a terrible one.

Cons

Unfortunately there are more cons than pros. Every company has their issues, but here it is like everyone knows there are issues with certain processes and departments, but rarely will you see beneficial change. -Product roll out is terrible. Literally every time something new is introduced, it never hold ups to expectations, never works the way people are told its going to work, and never happens on time. Countless amounts of money have been spent on projects that either disappear into thin air, or never end up getting used. -Town Hall meetings are basically a time when jokes are told, c-suite dances around questions that might not be positive reinforcement for the company, and people are left with this "okay, so what is really going on" type of feeling. -Wages - While people are not supposed to talk about pay, it still happens. From multiple sources it has been stated that people getting hired into the company are getting paid more than people that have been working there for years. The wage increases for current employees compared to the increase in starting pay is very skewed, and has put a bad taste in peoples' mouths. it does not make sense that someone just starting, knowing nothing about the company or how to do anything, is making more than the mentor that would be training them. -Ideas are suppressed very quickly from upper management if it is something they do not want to hear. I know of a specific situation where an individual was voicing their opinion from the start of the project, that it was not going to work the way they had intended, but they were ignored up until it got close to the roll out deadline. Then all of the sudden people cared that the the product that cost a great amount of money, is not going to be used in the fashion that was outlined to everyone. Yet no one is held accountable for this. -They push accountability but it seems like that is only for anyone that is not a manager, director, VP, or chief. Once you get to a certain threshold/level, you are exempt from accountability. -Money Grabs - Open manager/director positions are left unfilled so that people in management positions can be moved up into newly created positions. You tend to see the same people getting promoted year to year. -We are told all this money is allocated to IT and Technology, but that is not apparent when you talk with IT and developer staff. Our processes are in dire need of updating but rarely do you see significant change where needed. Overall, it is like once you are here, you minds well stay since it is one of the better places to work in South Bend. But at times it almost seems like they try to hide the unmanageable workloads with ample PTO time and good benefits. This would be great if you felt like you could actually take time off.

Press Ganey Response

We agree that we have great people at Press Ganey. Our people not only support our mission, but they also make it possible. In recognizing that critical relationship, we undertake many initiatives to create a strong company and culture that were unfortunately not captured in your review. We invest significantly and consistently to ensure that our infrastructure and digital technology platform leads the industry and provides the support needed to help our clients achieve their missions. We are always seeking ways to improve on what we can deliver to our clients, and it’s that commitment to innovation that has enabled Press Ganey to break new ground in health care performance improvement. While our leadership consists of professionals who have long and successful careers in their respective areas of expertise, we recognize the input of every individual at Press Ganey. Every associate has a voice, and we make consistent efforts to ensure that associates can be heard. Our Town Halls represent one example of this, where our last event produced a 30-minute Q&A with a very open dialog about the vision and direction of Press Ganey. We also conduct extensive associate surveys twice a year to collect feedback, track our process, and identify priority areas to enhance the Press Ganey experience. Leadership has used associate input directly from these surveys that have resulted in actions around operations, staffing needs, and internal programs. Importantly, associates are always encouraged to approach their management team or HR anytime with questions or suggestions. Thank you for the time you invested to provide feedback and your perspective. We are also appreciative of your suggestions. Our hope is that we are creating an environment where you are comfortable raising these issues to our leadership directly as well as willing to be part of the solutions so that we can retain you as a valued and engaged part of our Press Ganey community.

Pros

If you want to get your hands dirty with healthcare policy or hospital system strategy, the Consulting and Advisory teams do some legitimately interesting work. The data access is also a massive plus—if you’re a Data Scientist, you won’t be hurting for data to work with.

Cons

Instability is the Norm: Constant, unexplained layoffs have created a pretty paranoid atmosphere. Management doesn’t handle change well, and people are always looking over their shoulders. Frankenstein Tech Stack: The company prefers buying new companies over fixing the ones they already own. This leaves you with a core product that's basically held together by duct tape and technical debt. Sales often sells a "dream" that the current tech just can't actually do. Broken Integration: There’s zero effort to actually merge the cultures or systems of the companies they buy. It’s just a revolving door of new names and fragmented processes. Management Deflection: When things go south, leadership tends to point fingers at junior staff or "reorganize" rather than taking any responsibility. The "Bonus" Trap: Don't count on your full package. Bonuses are rarely funded above 70% (it's often less), which effectively feels like a hidden pay cut.
