Pros

1. relatively flexible work hours 2. exposure to executive leaders (though this can also be a very big con)

Cons

1. culture focused on execution, but not necessarily on the right thing - there's very much a mindset of "let's do anything and everything" without an explanation of why we're doing it that leaves many employees confused on what's a priority and what isn't. There are constant "fires"; we seem desperate in the market. 2. no investment in employees - leaders like to push employees to the limit to test how far they can go before someone snaps; then constantly surprised when employees complain and quit 3. terrible healthcare benefits - quite surprising for a *healthcare* company; good luck trying to take care of your family on this insurance policy, or god forbid go on "maternity leave" 4. temperamental and overly (passive) aggressive leadership team - I've witnessed and have been the recipient of undue public verbal floggings 5. business value - we harp on the fact that our competitors are experts only in one vertical, but isn't there something to be said about dabbling in so many areas we don't have *any* expertise in?

Thank you for your feedback. We think the totality of reviews here on Glassdoor give a more fair, well-rounded picture of the company and culture. To address one of the major concerns about whether we are executing on the right things, we strongly believe we are. The market has validated our long-held belief that point solutions are not the answer as our competitors have started to follow our model. As for healthcare, we recently upgraded our healthcare benefits to “gold” and “platinum” insurance plans and now cover 100% of the cost of employees’ insurance. We will continue to refine our benefits and compensation programs and are addressing career paths across the company. Please be sure to let your manager know about your professional goals and aspirations, and most importantly you should feel secure in expressing concerns to anyone on the leadership team. We believe in open and ongoing productive conversations leading to better outcomes for all. Thank you again for your thoughts.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits and they provide you with equipment. It's a startup so there is definitely room to grow, my supervisor had only been with the company for 2 years! It was great being part of such a community driven to help people. I liked working in the startup environment, from marketing professionals, to MDs we all could give eachother tips, encouragement, and support in a slack channel. It was great to experience the company like a community, in my last job we could only speak within our bubble of teams.

Cons

The training process was very difficult because they don't send you equipment until after you complete training. I had to download a whole CRM system on my 6 year old Mac Sequoia and my computer has never recovered. Also there can be a lot of misinformation, you'll be told one process by someone and then be critiqued by someone else that it was incorrect, needless to say sometimes instructions were not very clear. I think it would help if they extended their training beyond 1 week. I do want to specify that the person in charge of the trainees is great and very diligent, the issue is with company policy and not an indvidual.
