Pros

Once was an open and friendly environment. Free snacks, but no longer free meals due to budget cuts.

Cons

After transitioning to the mothership WellSky, there have been many undesirable and unacceptable changes. Payroll and PTO calculations were incorrect for over 9 months, and WellSky did not meet it's contractual obligation to pay for fees for employee services, even after following up multiple times. Leadership has changed from enablers to cutting out long term successful employees in a snap to save money. Salaries have been lowered to 'meet current market' (low demand in Austin??) and new ideas now get you reprimanded instead of encouraged.

Pros

Immediate coworkers are awesome. Great location in the Reston area. Never bored. Always challenged. Free snacks and drinks.

Cons

Acquired by Mediware and the whole culture was changed for the worse. No documentation for anything. You are on your own. If you ask, it is like hazing. If you don't ask, you waste hours trying to connect the dots yourself. High stress. Untenable workload. People work nights and weekends and still can't get the work done. The software is suffering mostly because the old timers left with all the knowledge in their heads. Customers are rightfully disappointed with the product, subsequent support and the time it takes to get bugs fixed. QA is attempted but integrated testing falls short. It's a company that I would suggest you avoid. If you need a job take it. Many people don't last very long. So keep up the job search once you get there so you can get paid while you continue to look. Mediware has grown to fast and don't have enough permanent staff to bring up all the new folks. It stopped being fun.

Thank you for the feedback. You are right that the rapid adoption of Mediware’s human services solutions has resulted in many employees moving into expanded roles and the hiring of a large number of new team members. Anytime a company grows at a very fast pace, growing pains can occur. As you mention, the dynamic nature of the business is “never boring” and the pace at which we are all working to meet customer commitments can be challenging. Mediware is committed to a professional, collaborative working environment for all employees so I am disappointed if you feel it is difficult to ask for help or your manager is not listening or using negative reinforcement to try to motivate you. I will ask the team to reflect on your comments and look for ways to improve teamwork and mentorship in line with our company values. Thank you again for the comments.

Pros

I have nothing positive to say

Cons

- Forced to be in-office while most of the company is remote - High amount of turnover meaning SMEs are hard to come by - Upper management and Solutions are constantly changing priorities and then get upset when employees are scrambling to get on track with the newest decision - People outside of engineering basically get no personal development training - go find your own - Salaries are low compared to the national average, although you can expect the work of at least 2 people at all times - Lake of diversity in upper management - almost everyone is a white male
