Pros

- The CX department had leaders who truly care about you and are there to support you (note our director, team manager, and senior CSM team lead gave notice within less than a week of one another) - You can gain some experience in a SAAS org - Your working with all different types of Doctors all over the country

Cons

- Mexico based employees are taken for granted, underpaid, and viewed as less than by senior leadership - The pay gap between teams is astronomical and grossly inappropriate - Sales process is extremely unethical, bait and switch, and based on lies - SDRs call Doctors to set up an “interview” claiming they are managers of the “Healthcare Division App” at insert: “Amazon/Siri/Apple” - this is 100% false DearDoc has never been associated with any of these entities and it’s a bait and switch tactic used to get Doctors excited about connecting with what they think is a legitimate company - AEs set unrealistic expectations as to the number of leads that a Doctor will be receiving to close the deal and the CS department is left with the aftermath. - Some of these unrealistic expectations consist of: - Making up / inflating website traffic numbers to show more value and more opportunities for conversations to close a sale - Senior Leadership is aware that the way they go about portraying numbers is 100% incorrect but it "helps close the deal" - Saying that a particular product such as their Google integration will double, triple, or even quadruple their leads yet it’s well known across the company that the product only produces potentially a 1-2% increase in leads - Claiming that DearDoc has an “exclusive partnership with Google” to price a product in the thousands when all they do is add a link to the customer's Google my business listing - Senior leadership is aware of these issues and promotes them because it helps close deals quicker, helps inflate and enlarge the deal size, and boosts their egos that their sales process is so incredible - Legal threats from customers have become nearly a weekly occurrence due to these bait and switch sales tactics and the refusal to issue refunds now that they don’t proactively let customers know they are going to be charged a renewal - DearDoc doesn’t own a single product- they are all white labeled products so there’s little to no room for improvement. Some of the products don't even function correctly because they are all individual white labeled products that the team tries to piece mail together - DearDoc has mismanaged its content services which never have been given the true staffing, structure, organization, and support to be successful because it was never a true priority yet the content services are vital to the CS department to try and save and turn customer relationships around - Disconnected Senior Leadership team - they push messages without clearly thinking about the impact they have on team members and do not think about the MX team when making these announcements - Senior Leadership cares about one thing and one thing only - revenue. People don't matter, the individuals putting in hard work don't matter. They say they do, but actions are way louder than words and I do not see actions that show that they care about the MX team members or the CS department

A dream job for morally bankrupt salespeople

Pros

Depending on which department you’re in, most employees aren’t expected to work overtime. With unlimited PTO, the work-life balance is pretty solid especially when you have managers that care about your well-being. Customer experience leadership makes an effort to support the team and there’s camaraderie within the department. You’ll most-likely meet people who will become your lifelong friends. Unfortunately, the customer experience team as a whole has morphed into a massive post-sale support group on how to deal with verbal lashings from enraged doctors that realize their sales rep blatantly lied about the products they were sold.

Cons

1.) A deplorable sales process founded on misleading the customer. Some semblance of a pricing structure exists but it’s never followed. It’s more of a “let’s see how much money I can fool/wear down this doctor into forking up” mentality that is carried out by all means necessary, quite literally. Most of the sales reps aren’t above deceiving, e.g stating the company has been commissioned by Apple to develop technology in the healthcare space for Siri (an entirely fallacious claim), to build false credibility enticing the doctor to pay up to $20,000 for products worth 1/4th the price at best. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out deceit isn’t a sustainable business model. 2.) As mentioned before, the post-sale team has to deal with misplaced rage from doctors and staff as an aftermath of the egregious sales tactics. Having a customer threaten a lawsuit became a daily occurrence. Most of the time, this lead to a negative impact on roughly a quarter of the post-sale team’s paychecks as well. 3.) Everyone, including the C-Suite/Senior Leadership Team, is very aware of the questionable sales process and how it’s causing a rift in the company but seem to actively ignore the problem. They set up all-hands meetings to address the rumblings but somehow spin the focus, fail to commit to any actionable solutions, yet astonishingly believe they’ve achieved some form of victory. This left many employees unsatisfied and utterly let down. Speaking up has no place at DearDoc. 4.) DearDoc does not employ engineers. Especially as a “start-up”, this means scaling is impossible which also means opportunities for growth are very limited or non-existent. 5.) The pay gap between the Account Executives and the post-sale team is appalling. AEs that don’t get tossed out for not reaching their quotas are easily earning 6-figures. However, within the post-sale team, “I don’t get paid enough to care” has been the motto amongst some departments (not an exaggeration as I’ve personally heard this several times). These team members, who are getting paid significantly below market rates, are tasked to provide quality product/content yet they lack incentive, lack experience, lack fear of repercussion, to deliver which ultimately results in customer churn. Most of them would get paid more working at McDonalds so can you blame them? Again, an unsustainable business model that negatively impacts everyone but the sales team. Please take the positive reviews with a grain of salt and take into consideration which department they represent.

Pros

All of the perks of working in a start up environment have been taken away.

Cons

They are worried about one thing: stealing money from doctors so that he can sell the company. The product is essentially meaningless due to lack of funding on the back end and high turnover rate. Save yourself the time and find a company that actually cares about you.
