The CEO holds the company back from greatness

Pros

The people are great at Novarad and the coworkers make you enjoy your job.

Cons

Unfortunately, the CEO is the worst person in the company and he keeps Novarad from succeeding. He is known for harassing the women of the office and unfairly yells at and punishes employees, sometimes for no reason. He has a massive ego, and if you threaten that, you will be punished repeatedly. He takes particular interest in specific departments at an almost obsessive degree, and will micromanage those departments at any cost. Speaking of cost, good luck getting paid fairly here. The CEO is too worried about forking out massive amounts of money for his pet projects and traveling, so a lot of people are severely underpaid with no opportunity for growth. Some parts of the company are allowed to work from home, and others you will get no flexibility. He only gives unfair preference to his favorite departments. The HR team is phenomenal, but are limited in what they can do to help if you have any issues with the CEO. The benefits are not ideal, and the company praises themselves for offering 2 half-remote sick days a year, the other half of the day you will have to take the very little PTO you are given. Hopefully you feel better by the 3rd day and don't get sick again the rest of the year...seems odd for a healthcare tech company to not offer sick days or parental leave.

For a "health care" industry, the health care provided is poor CEO is out of touch with the employees Women are tasked with typical woman's work Software developers are treated better than other employee groups

Pros

+ There are quite a few cool people who work here and they'll make your stay much more bearable. + The flexibility is okay, but that's about it. There really aren't many pros to working here.

Cons

- The pay & benefits range from bad to okay, with the exception of some people who have been there for ages. The company has begun self-insuring due to financial constraints and I firmly believe that this is a terrible idea. They treat their older employees quite well, but newer employees are treated poorly. - The culture is atrocious. It's certainly the worst company culture I've ever been a part of. - The CEO is so bad it's actually kind of funny. He makes everything he's a part of much harder, and his frequent trips are actually a blessing because people can actually get things done. He's actually so bad that I was warned about him in the first interview that I did here. I imagine at some point he must have been a decent person, but at this point he's hard to take seriously and nobody in the company really would if he couldn't fire them. -Management isn't great and it gets worse the closer the position you work is to the CEO. I liked my manager, but he didn't spend much of his time actually managing. The management & communication (or lack thereof) made my role almost impossible to succeed in.

Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry that you were not with us longer than "less than a year". Novarad's average tenure is 8 years - and for a tech company that speaks volumes! Novarad's managers are all working managers and those team members who succeed at Novarad are those who take the initiative to do their work and ask questions when needed. We find that meetings for meetings sake slow down productivity and can affect our competitiveness in the marketplace. We know that Novarad will not be a fit for all and all people are not a fit for Novarad. Best of luck to you in finding your fit.
