      Pros

      Coworkers are great 100% Remote for US based team Medical Plans are decent Mental wellness app - you’re going to need it Education platform

      Cons

      - Zero internal structure and what’s there is being held together by crusty bandaids. This company is acquiring too many companies too fast and isn’t doing anything at all to clean up the data or make it to where an incoming employee knows where to find anything - Pay is not on par with company size or tenure. However, there is opportunity to grab swag and join a game night if you aren’t concerned with salary. Do not expect a raise or a title change if you’re mid level or lower unless you’re friends with someone higher or have been at symplr prior to early 2021. The one review I had during my time was great but know there is zero budget in our group or at least was told that.

      We were honestly a little surprised to read your review as it’s not reflective of the symplr experience we do our best to cultivate. For example, just this week, we shared 150 internal promotions, celebrating individuals from all functions at our All-Hands meeting. We place a high emphasis on pay for performance using the most competitive market data and always look for areas to improve our offerings, including extending remote stipends and additional benefits around health and wellness. We also host regular Q&A sessions with our CEO where you can openly share your concerns as well as provide a protected space to voice issues with our HRBP Team. We would like to know specifically where you see areas to improve our internal operations and hope you will contact us as we want everyone to feel proud of being a symplr teammate. We can be reached here InternalCommunications@symplr.com.

      Offshoring all of the work

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company has lots of potential. The company is trying to push for inclusion and diversity throughout the org, though Executive level is still mostly 50 year old Caucasian Males. All forms of insurance are offered, while not the best it's not the worst. it's adequate. Work from home transition during Covid was easy and there has been no pressure to try to force people back into an office as of yet. Employees that do work in an office must be vaccinated against Covid-19.

      Cons

      The company is focused on driving down internal costs while increasing cost to end clients. The company is continually adding more engineering managers than software developers. 90% of new software development is sent to off shore contractors for the lowest price. When that work is complete, then the teams are let go and no one is left that has any real knowledge of how the product. Developers are leaving a fast pace and the company is not back filling the majority of the positions due to cost. Off shore contractors are cheaper and temporary, therefore they are better. Executive team keeps repeating that they want to be like Cerner. You can see this in their actions. More acquisitions, moving as many positions to India as possible, and lay off "unnecessary positions" multiple times per year. They even use the same phrase "The people affected are welcome to apply for other open positions within the company". Issues experienced by small clients are never a priority because they don't represent enough revenue to justify employee time to fix it. No one cares about work life balance. Either you get your work done or you don't. There are always people working around the clock to try to meet deadlines.

      Nice and shiny on the outside deeply flawed and tarnished at the center

      Regional sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People were great and benefits but beware.

      Cons

      Upper management has only one direction and that acquisition leverage and keeping the VC happy. Every quarter is preparing for another almost relevant acquisition that changes the scoop and plans of the different teams and those not on board get the boot. No loyalty. Very false sense community and shared goal.
