Pros
The mission for sure, and mostly the camaraderie and relationships built between team members who see the issues present and want to facilitate change is what kept me there so long. I was one of the few who held multiple positions and got to move up, I appreciated the opportunities for growth, but I also know i was one of the few who got that. Loved the energy the CEO brings to the atmosphere as well as the CTO. It felt good working to streamline and pave the ways of a new company, young companies have the potential to be very malleable and for lots of impact if you’re talented and strategically placed well in your role in the company, those that excel far stood out amongst the crowd in a company like this.
Cons
- upper management is a mess (which trickles down), will give you whiplash with their decision making - HR is inexperienced and is not there to help employees, their design is to advocate company only regardless of your talent, skill or tenure, or sheer reliability. - while the C suite included a lot of lovely people (not all), it just appears naive and like there is a general struggle to hire appropriately for the company and maintain people in positions that fit (relationships matter more than talent or skill.) - caution about pay inequalities, advocate for yourself or you will be left at the bottom of the barrel despite talent/tenure/reliability etc. - struggles to get priorities in line with goals - a general disregard for hipaa/compliance initiatives at the patient team level - will allow bad practices from Employees to go unanswered to for far too long - disciplinary actions/accountability is very inconsistent and sometimes seems like a popularity contest
