Pros

Free lunch on Wednesdays. For now….

Cons

A company that continuously markets and pushes values on their employees, but has completely stopped following them themselves. There has been MANY unethical things done in the last year. They broadcasted allowing remote work and WFH, but then now are requiring employees to go back into office. This includes employees hired as remote. People who were “grandfathered” into remote work at gradually being fired. You’ll notice too that these roles aren’t being filled, the work is being piled on other employees due to the IPO process and leadership wanting metrics to look good. Waystar is not the company that it used to be. Pay is below industry. I stayed for the culture but not worth it anymore.

We believe that we are better together, but we also know that change can be hard. We encourage you to reach out to your leader during this transition if you need support around your schedule or workload. If you would like to discuss this further, you can also reach out to your Strategic Business Partner.

Pros

work from home occasionally free swag at company meetings ( feels more like a pep rally for the higher ups to push their propaganda of "how great we're doing" to convince everyone else that the boat isn't sinking Genuinely nice people who work there and try really hard to learn what their expectations are to do a great job

Cons

The employee turn over at this company is so rampant that no one knows what they are doing... ( which means if you're client facing, it all falls on you) if you need help or to work with other departments for something... your emails or question will just get passed around until ultimately people stop responding. There was a rush of new hires to replace the mass exodus of people leaving and it's been a revolving door of new hires - not getting proper training - and then people getting frustrated and leaving - this company has no foundation and trying to show up and do a great job despite the challenges is impossible if the structure of the company is crashing. There is a giant gap between the C suite and the rest of the company. The leaders are getting immense pressure from Bain Capital ( the company that funded the merger) to grow at a rapid pace and the foundation of this company is crumbling. The entire company is on edge and each day is a guessing game of who left or who is getting fired next. The moral is depressing and tensions are high. There are so many unnecessary processes due to the high turnover and new hires. Each new manager/leader came in and implemented their new ideas and there are so many of those ideas that haven't been removed/updated that the workflow is clouded with unproductive steps and makes no sense holistically. Clients are angry and not happy that they can't get answers or resolutions to their problems. They don't have confidence in the support team or their account executives and when things go wrong it takes months to get a resolution if there is one. Often times departments have conflicting training or answers to solutions. The client is often times caught in the middle of conflicting information and most frequently this happens during a call with support or their implementation after they have signed a contract.

Pros

Lots of company swag. There used to be some really great people there.

Cons

The leadership team spends so much time with each other that they are out of touch with what’s really going on with the company. They seem to be under the mindset that if you repeat the same thoughts about the company over & over, it will stick and people will start believing the same thing. Walk the walk instead of talking the talk. Town hall meetings are pure propaganda. Leaders don’t seem authentic. Their is little to no diversity on the leadership team - another reason why they are so out of touch with the actual employees. They don’t even know how to relate to them.
