Pros

FTO is nice (although they announced it on 12/31 and did not pay out people's PTO), teams are understanding of work/life balance, salaries are ok in most positions

Cons

They don't really offer competitive raises/bonuses. Our health insurance also gets worse every year. I have also heard (and subsequently verified) they fired a support tech over political social media posts which has made everyone nervous, and as a member of the LGBTQ and a liberal it has made me question if I want to work for a company so beholden to right wing ideals. I have been told the employee is working with the ACLU. After this, they held a big "social media" policy meeting with the managers to trickle info to their subordinates. The values they tout do not seem to apply to anyone above a standard manager and it feels like they are erasing the values more each day. They are also constantly acquiring new companies before they can even successfully acclimate the previous acquisition. They laid off a bunch of people with this last one, and the PatientCo processes are still a mess and it's been a few years.

Pros

Thought I could advance; promotion process a joke except when looking to leave. Team dynamic is very toxic. C-suite leaders are disconnected and fake.

Cons

If you're lucky to have equity, hang on. Salaries are not competitive, benefits are sub par (ironically for a company that is in healthcare) and communication is broken.

Pros

Directors and VPs are great, they care about your success and try to help all they can. Great place to start off and get some experience.

Cons

Unfortunately, the downfall of the company will be that it is cheap. The other reviews aren't wrong, it is hard to get a penny out of the company. Even with good mid-leadership, they are bottlenecked by the higher-ups on budget and unfortunately can't help much. People are stretched pretty thin. Even though they say they are hiring, new team members are too few and far between, mostly because of the below-market salaries.
