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.
