      A Company with Great Values

      Pros

      My favorite thing about Flatiron Health is that the company has a great set of values, and it uses these values to guide all of its decisions. Flatiron cares about kindness, seeking and giving feedback, being self-critical, and many other things. I have observed these values translate into transparency, regular revision of processes, and an openness with employees and clients alike.

      Cons

      I honestly don't have much to say about why Flatiron Health isn't good. Flatiron is a growing company, and has hit a few bumps scaling the organization and the way that teams coordinate, but none of these have changed my opinion of the company.

      Great Company; Important Mission

      Pros

      I have been working at Flatiron for over a year. As noted in other reviews, the people that work here are incredibly smart with degrees from the best schools in the country and work experience from other major tech providers. The environment is very challenging. You are constantly pressed to find solutions to difficult problems within tight frames but our mission -- serving cancer patients and customers by improving treatment and accelerating research -- requires this level of intensity. Our leaders definitely "walk the walk" and are committed to ensuring that employees understand the mission and how individual contributions work towards it. The company is constantly providing opportunities to learn and teach on a variety of topics related to Oncology. Every week there are knowledge sessions where we have an oncologist or data scientist or outside expert give a lecture on key topics related to our work. If you like to "teach", there are always opportunities to get in front of the group and present a relevant topic. Flatiron also offers a shadow program where employees can "shadow" an oncologist to better understand how our products/software impacts our customers and patients. As also mentioned, the office space is great as are the perks. Food, beverages, social activities, charitable events, all keep employees engaged and working hard. There is always a buzz of activity and opportunities to collaborate with fellow employees. Net/net -- if you like a start-up environment and working at a company with a mission of saving lives, you will find Flatiron to be a very rewarding experience.

      Cons

      Culture and intensity are not for everyone. Successful people at Flatiron are willing to run with an issue without having to be told exactly how to approach something. Nothing is spoon fed so if you are looking for a formal training program as part of your on-boarding, this may not be the company for you. You also have to be able to deal with uncertainty around work load and job descriptions. Some weeks you may be working in one area only to have to pivot and work on another "fire" If you don't like this, you probably won't be successful working here. Growth of company may be considered a con for some. It is tough to get to know everyone that is coming on-board given the large numbers of new hires. You have to go out of your way to meet with folks and not be shy about setting up meetings and introducing yourself to fellow employees.

      Not so great

      Pros

      * Flatiron has amazing talent. Was lucky enough to work alongside some very smart, driven, kind people. * The office has great perks; loads of snacks, drinks, fancy coffee machines, free lunches which come in handy since taking a lunch break isn't common. * The mission behind Flatiron keeps a lot of people motivated even when they feel burnt out. * Wonderful individual health benefits, not as strong for dependents/families * Central office location, easy subway access for commuters

      Cons

      * Some departments can be very cliquey, unapproachable, and secretive. Office politics and favoritism run rampant. * People are there one day and disappear the next which adds a level of fear for job security. * If you aren't putting in 12 hour days or try to leave at a reasonable hour people will think you aren't "going above and beyond." Not the most sustainable environment if you have a family. There is a big drinking culture which makes you feel like you need to stay even later to put in face in order to be a part of the team. * Like some others have mentioned, Ivy pedigree is given more clout than it should and those without it can feel looked down upon. * It's common for managers to have no training or experience which can have a really negative impact. Training shouldn't be an option or afterthought but a prerequisite. * More talk and planning than action in a lot of areas
