Pros

Being relatively young, getting some work that has a real impact is a genuine resume builder rather than typical lower impact work young professionals would find elsewhere. Excluding management, everyone is a genuine pleasure to work with and as far as I can tell, most people feel the same way. If it wasn't for the (hopefully taken down by the time you read this) management-planted review on March 25, 2019, it would have been a 2-star review. The immaturity and blatant attempt to inflate the average review score is shameful. The office has incredible views of downtown Milwaukee, especially Lake Michigan. Free donut Thursday mornings and free beer Fridays at 3:30pm. If you’re a close friend or family member of management, you will be treated well here.

Cons

Be prepared to be paid lower than your market value and to often work more than 40 hours per week without any overtime potential. You will be taken for granted in a thankless job and be set up to inevitably fail. Considering how small the business is, the copious communication breakdowns are baffling. Management is seldom on the same page as employees creating surprises and fires which end up being the employees’ faults every time apparently. Priorities are nonsensical since everything is a high priority. For example, I had an 18-hour day to get a project out on time. Upon its completion, the management recipient told me “I’ll look at it next week”. If that’s so, why was my extension request denied? Why wasn’t even a simple “thank you” given? The next week I worked 39 hours and got an informal warning for not working 40 hours without taking PTO without any regard given I worked 50+ hours the week prior. Office politics are rampant, but it seems most people are pussyfooting around it. Rockstars have been let go for mysterious reasons while underperformers have stuck around for quite some time. Hiring friends and family might have made sense when it was a startup trying to survive early on, but now it has created a culture of insiders and outsiders. Life is great if you’re on the inside as you have total job security regardless of performance. Having family members give performance evaluations to each other is a pretty clear conflict of interest that's swept under the rug.

People first, mission always. Healthfuse focuses on protecting and strengthening hospitals’ financial situations so they can focus on creating healthier patient communities. This mission is a bold one and the reason for our existence. To accomplish it, we have high standards for ourselves, and our clients have high expectations of us. We also love our employees and work hard to create a positive environment where they can thrive. We encourage open communication, and provide tools, so we can help our employees succeed. But at the end of the day, our culture and mission are not for everyone. While we hate seeing this negative comment, we only wish this previous employee all the best in their future endeavors. We also hope those evaluating Healthfuse, and reading this review, consider other positive reviews, and Healthfuse’s focus on both mission and our people.

Pros

Strong mission and the hiring of new grads. There are a handful of good people who are humble, honest, and hardworking.

Cons

Inflation of Glassdoor salaries and reviews. I worked here for a few years and the majority of the salaries listed for the analyst positions on this site are incredibly far off. I feel that they inflated the salaries to attract new hires, but they pay at least $20K below what’s reported on here. Analysts are required to meet unrealistic deadlines and expectations with an ever-growing client base. Micromanagement is a huge problem all across the board, even in a remote environment. Without going into way too much detail, just Google “micromanagement in a remote workplace” and you’ll understand everything that this company is doing. There is zero respect for anyone below management and leadership, especially for the analysts. There are very few opportunities for growth and promotion, no matter how hard you work. When issues are brought up to management, they double down on toxicity by blaming the bottom tier instead of addressing the issue. Executive leadership claims to know nothing about the toxicity at management level and denies it happening when issues are brought to them.

Pros

The work is interesting and downtown office is in a nice location. If you are friend or family of leadership you will likely do very well here.

Cons

This workplace is extremely toxic unless you are family. Be prepared to be taken advantage of and be set up for failure if a family member sees you as competition. Please read the positive reviews on this site and you can very easily tell they are written by management. This toxic culture starts with the top and truly impacts everyone, hence the very high turnover. I would also add the pay is not even close to competitive. I would never recommend working here if you are an outsider. There are much better opportunities out there.
