Pros

The work environment has changed a lot over the years since initially being employed by Zirmed and has become more rigid and 'corporate', especially after the acquisition by Bain Capital. The 'merger' has destroyed poor Navicure and negatively affected Zirmedians in many ways (we lost good people too) yet I remain because of my awesome coworkers, opportunities and the work/life balance still offered. This is from the perspective of someone on the engineering team so I can't comment on the changes in other departments under the Waystar banner.

Cons

Not a fan of the last two CEOs or townhall meetings. The employees 'rewards' in the form of Waystar branded swag (clappers, mouse pads, energy bars) leaves me feeling a little ill.

Thanks for sharing. Combing two top performing companies provides many opportunities and certainly temporary challenges for us to work through. We work hard every day to be an award-winning company and incorporate the best of both companies. That said, we are grateful to know that you value your coworkers, our culture and our work/life flexibility. And we are reviewing our most recent engagement survey data and will use that to make enhancements in the future. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for all that you do.

Pros

If you ever wanted to be flooded with company logo swag, this is the place. Cups, jackets, shirts, frisbees, etc will be thrown at you - like the sugar in the koolaid it's plentiful and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Cons

You'll be promised the vision and lured by the possibilities under the guise of fixing healthcare, then you're job will change 2-3 times within a year and you're told you are welcome to leave it you don't like the changes to your role that you didn't sign up for. Healthcare is not being fixed through the claim billing and revenue cycle. You'll be told people are the best part of Waystar (koolaid) all while management (Ric) and his cronies are plotting your departure. There is no room for advancement as the cronies are already promised those positions and if you aren't a crony, you'll rot in your current role or get pushed downward.

We’re truly sorry that you did not have a better experience in your time with Waystar. We are a fast-moving company with a growth mindset, and we love to see our team members succeed. Career development is a collaborative process and Waystar strives to empower our team members to achieve their goals and move into roles they find satisfying. We have a long road ahead of us in our mission to simplify and unify the revenue cycle, but we are just happy to do our part in supporting our healthcare communities in this difficult time.

Pros

I cannot think of any

Cons

1. If you work in the Duluth, GA office, you are treated with disrespect, dishonesty, and deceit. 2. All of the energy and resources goes into the Louisville, KY. They only promote folks there. People who are qualified in the Duluth office are looked over, as Louisville only wishes to promote from their office exclusively. 3. The Duluth office is rarely allowed to hire. When I put in my notice, they moved my FTE to the Louisville office instead of back-filling in Duluth. 4. You are expected to hardly ever get out of your seat. If you have to go to the bathroom, you must let someone in leadership know. 5. There is no company culture expect for you to know you are treated like "The Help". You are not respected; you are looked down upon. 6. When moving clients to a new software, the company does not provide training. Clients are expected to either watch videos, or "learn it on your own" or "just contact support". Support is inundated with enough calls as it is. When the training department is confronted, they just pretend like nothing is wrong. As a result multiple clients are terminating their contracts with Waystar. 7. There is no incentive to work here. The salary is terrible, the benefits abysmal, and when you try to suggest changes to make things better, you're told "we will take it under advisement" . . . . and your ideas are thrown out the door. I would never recommend any of my contacts/friends to work here . . .ever. You are treated like garbage, you are expected to get the client off the phone as soon as possible, even if the client is not satisfied with the answer being given. You are faulted if you leave your seat to go to the bathroom, etc. . . . my list could go on. Don't. Work. Here.

Thank you for your feedback and the opportunity to share a few important facts. We are so proud that our company continues to get recognized for our products, service and culture. We've just won again Becker's 2019 Best Place to Work award and continue to be award #1 KLAS awards for 10 years running. Our company is continuing to expand, and we are hiring and have promoted team members across all of our locations including Duluth. We value our team members and to ensure they have time to take a break, our standard practice if for team member’s to simply list themselves as unready, so client calls are not routed to them. This has worked very well for years. We continue to be committed to our team members and clients including any new upgrades or changes that may impact them due to our continued technology innovation and expansion. Team members and clients are provided with multiple training options and are invited to attend as many live Webinars and QA sessions as they would like. We’re thrilled to share we haven’t lost any clients because of their platform upgrade. As our company grows our culture continues to evolve and we continuously work to strengthen our Joyful, Optimistic and Fun culture. Waystar Cares is a new initiative we launched that will focus initiatives specific to community, connection and wellness. Additionally, we have a team that continues to review our benefits packages to invest in our team members and their family’s wellbeing. U.S. health care costs continue to rise and we’ve got a number of initiatives in place to help bend that curve. Again, we appreciate your thoughts and thank you for your contributions to the company. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at any time with thoughts on how we can continue to make Waystar a great place to work. Thanks! Susan
