Medecision reviews

One of the really good Engineering Directors that left for a better job with less BS informed me a few interesting facts: Bonus as percentages of salary are verbally promised but not put in offer letters because YOU WILL NEVER GET THEM unless you're the CEO or CTO pet. Actually, the Executives KNOW they do not allocate enough money to pay the promised bonuses even at the payout percentages. People that do a good job get shafted all the time! The CEO knows the CTO has ownership and rev share in software and consulting companies hired and paid TOP dollar but doesn't care and I bet isn't informing the HCSC board. On that note, the HCSC Board of Directors is either complicit or incompetent, but then again it is a non-profit so they accountability is crap.

The fire drills and weird management behavior. It's as if the Marketing Officer and the CEO wake up some days with some crazy idea and expect everyone to drop what they are doing and then know what they want. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of strategy or thinking, a lot of responding and WAY too much emotion. Actually, somedays it's like we've got teenagers at the wheel. Usually it works out in the end, but this isnt an efficient way to do things. Major con is there's no equity. This is one of the first jobs Ive had at a IT/software firm that didn't have some sort of equity or revenue sharing program. The bonuses were week last year and there's no new sales yet this year so things dont' look good this year either. For a company that values candor so much, there's a lot of not calling it like it is at management level and a lot of face-saving. Apparently it's been like this for the past several years (but better than two years ago) and there's a lot of turnover in certain parts of the company, including my department.
