Pros

This is a startup so you have to expect frequent radical change. Nothing is permanent and every day is different. If you like defining your own challenges and then being given room to chase success then this place is perfect. But, you have to bring experience, confidence, and ambition. I have not yet seen my VP give someone a direct order, rather they ask what should be done next and how long it will take.

Cons

The product is rock solid but frequently misunderstood by users and customers. It is often perceived as middle-ware or worse, redundant to other systems in the tech stack. Also, this is a startup so money is tight. Base comp is below market average with employees given the option to buy pre-IPO 'stocks' after a year. These may someday have value if the company goes public or gets bought. So, you will need to be a bit of gambler to be happy here.

Pros

The services team is professionally staffed. The CSMs in particular have significant tenure with the product and a wide range of experience with other vendor systems commonly found in a healthcare facility technology stack. Even beyond the services org, the staff is friendly and eager to contribute to the success of new hires.

Cons

I call Ordr a cybersecurity company because they call themselves a cybersecurity company, not because their products meaningfully contribute to the security posture of a network. Their flagship app is essentially middleware, aggregating device detail awareness from other tools and sources and feeding the awareness to yet other applications in the tech stack. Their relationship to cybersecurity is the same as a power strip’s relationship to cybersecurity. With that in mind, Proceed with Caution. This is not a company likely to go IPO. Nor are they likely to be bought by a network hardware or cybersecurity company because MAC address interpretation and heuristic traffic analysis are both quite common these days. With their focus on IoT devices in healthcare facilities i could see them being acquired by one of the larger healthcare equipment manufacturers, like maybe GE for example.
