Pros

Peer relationships are fantastic. Everyone under executive leadership is super nice to work with and extremely smart.

Cons

Tendo is currently grappling with the pursuit of a winning formula for success. A significant portion of the company was presented with an ambitious vision centered around revolutionizing patient healthcare. The goal was to create a platform that simplifies scheduling, access, and management of healthcare services for users. However, the execution took a different path, resulting in the development of an application tailored more for healthcare organizations, with a focus on chasing financial gains through hastily considered technological ventures. Strikingly, key decisions in the technical realm rest solely with the executives, who seem to evade accountability for their missteps. Instead of using posts like these as opportunities for self-improvement, the prevailing attitude seems to be reporting dissent and enlisting others to join the team, often for inadequate compensation, in an attempt to salvage a product that's steadily declining. These concerns are further compounded by the evident disarray in role assignments. An unsettling blend of responsibilities includes project managers engaging in coding tasks, engineers taking the lead on product decisions, and executives involving themselves extensively in micro-management. A recurring sentiment within Tendo appears to be, "This is the direction we're taking, so conform to it." The space for individual creativity and critical thinking appears limited, as the executive cadre appears to dictate the narrative.

Pros

Coworkers - Every coworker I came across had been helpful, friendly, and respectful. This was a bright spot for the company and was something I hadn't seen diminish during my time. Folks were respectful of everyone's time and did their best to not disturb others that are outside of the normal allotted work hours (this is a remote company with people on both coasts). PTO/Breathe - Like other recent reviews have mentioned, PTO and vacation are respected and time off had always been approved in my case. The breathe program is a nice perk where employees could reimburse up to $1500/yr to spend on themselves. Tech - Not sure if this is still the case, but the core tech stack was modern and provided learning opportunities. I am hesitant to put this in the Pros section because, depending on which team you are hired into, you may be working on the acquired legacy product that was far from modern and sleek. Remote - No pushes for RTO.

Cons

Vision - The company seemed lost, both in terms of product vision and execution. After nixing a majority of the core application features and selling them off (no transparency of the sale), the direction was all over the place. AI features being thrown at the wall to see what sticks, POCs with no weight. The company was lost. Tech - If you are an engineer, proceed with caution during the interview process. Make sure you know which team you are interviewing for and what you will be working on. There were different halves to the company - the original platform side which was working on modern languages and modern tooling, and the company that was acquired that was working on outdated languages and legacy technology. Make sure you are interviewing for the right team for you. Compensation - Low. Salaries did not keep up with inflation and are not at market rates. Like other reviews mentioned - 2% was a slap in the face when living costs are rising rapidly. Company bonuses were never paid out during my time because company goals were never met. Equity didn't meet expectations. Culture - Motivation was sharply declining. Engineering attrition was massive. There was a vibrant engineering culture of demoing work, knowledge sharing, and building cool things together but that effectively disappeared around 2024. Even small things like engagement in slack and meetings were dwindling noticeably.
