Pros

Above average pay and good benefits. Depending on your depth and manager there is career growth and opportunity to move within company

Cons

With Tom Pike as CEO the focus is entirely on the financial bottom line and both patients and people run second or third- -and not a close 2nd or third. Opportunities and growth are ABSOLUTELY up to your manager and HR does nothing about blatant favoritism, or discrimination except tell people to "manage up." Benefits are eroding and jobs headed offshore as fast as Tom Pike can make it happen so prospects for employees not in India or Slovakia don'the look promising. Providing on-site car wash service at the HQ building doesn't fool anyone that employees are valued. They need to rename HR and call it Human Widget Procurement.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
