Lots and lots of favoritism

Pros

Casual, good work life balance, and decent people to work with. Office location is in a great neighborhood and very modern.

Cons

No growth opportunities. It is a bit of an old boys club environment. Women do not get promoted often despite working harder than their male counterparts. Makes it hard to continue working with the same enthusiasm.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you felt as though there was a lack of growth opportunity due to your gender. I assure you, we are an equal opportunity company and value a diverse workforce. We never want any employee, of any gender or ethnicity, to feel as though you are judged based on anything beyond your performance at work. We have female employees in many of our leading roles, powering efforts from our mobile health initiatives to our product management departments. We are also initiating new diversity initiatives including university outreach and partnership with the HBA (healthcare businesswomen's association.)

Pros

Salaries are competitive, but you pay in your soul.

Cons

In the past year and 3 months, the company has taken a serious turn for the worse. The environment has become hostile and many employees are in fear of loosing their job, if they haven't already. The Product development team suffers from poor leadership at the top. The Product itself has significant quality and reliability issues as can be confirmed by the customer base. The software development team can not get organized in order to fix significant problems with the application, and the customer suffers. The Executive team can not seem to hire talented leaders to pull the company together. The recent effort has backfired on the Executive team and there will be a price to pay very shortly. Unfortunately, the customer base will feel most of the pain for misguided, unqualified leadership throughout the company.

Pros

Fantastic benefits, good pay (although they seem to be offering lower amounts now), and good work life balance. Very diverse and welcoming to people of all backgrounds. I love a majority of the people I work with.

Cons

Management quality has gone down FAST. Losing 4 to 5 of our longest serving leaders in the area, some through retirement and some through lay offs or unexpected reorgs. Communication by upper management is horrible, and they seem to be really picky about who they offer opportunities to move up. It wasn't like this even 2 years ago. The work-load assignments are really off. Some writers are managing multiple products and multiple tasks, while others are managing only one small product (and are wasting a lot of time in their free time bothering others). No pay increase this year (although we got bonuses). This is seen very negatively by the employees when the C-suite folks went to Mexico very recently...
