Pros
Now that it's over, I wanted to take some time to write down some thoughts about mProve Health. Two words and a feeling: Life changing, and grateful. Essentially, my career started with mProve. After a slightly long, but intriguing, interview process, I started. From that point, it was only a few days before figuring out what I was hired to do! (Ok...I get what you must be thinking – Long hiring process? Job uncertainty?...None of this sounds good, so what's up with the five stars? - Hold your horses, we'll get there)! Might have been the new-job glow, or the lack of understanding of how office life works, but just about everything happening early on left me feeling either pleasantly surprised or just plain happy. Mildly awkward meet and greets? Check. Co-workers always willing to listen and help? Check. Interviews with **the entire company**? Check. Opportunities to grow and explore? Check, check, check. (There’s more, but not looking this to be a novel). Never would I have imagined feeling this comfortable in a working setting while, at the same time, getting things done and seeing a promising company change and grow. There were a lot of new people coming in from around the time I began right through the initial acquisition by Bracket. Additionally, we moved offices twice within the first year and a half! As time went on, my department[?...ok, that’s a stretch, but let’s go with it], began to grow, providing more opportunities to document, train, and, of course, add more people into the group!
Cons
As time went on, my department[?...ok, that’s a stretch, but let’s go with it], began to grow, providing more opportunities to document, train, and, of course, add more people into the group! Eventually, mProve was acquired by Bracket, and pretty much kept the charm. Things were still [generally good] crazy, and the office was still a place I still looked forward to coming into each day. About a year later, Bracket acquired CRF Health which meant that, (if you were keeping track), mProve essentially went from 15 people to 1,500 in a matter of two and a half years! Absolute craziness for someone new to the workfront. Taking a trip down [a very brief] memory lane leads to what I hope anyone who reads this can take away as some unsolicited career advice. Although the name, roles, and to some extent, people, changed over the years; I had the unheard of opportunity to start my career experiencing the full spectrum of work environments. This was not something I had thought of too often during the mProve years because, quite frankly, I didn’t know any better. It was not until experiencing the average, and then the subpar, that it really set in just how amazingly spoiling it really was to get a chance to start at mProve.
