Pros

Unlimited time off. Management is so removed you can draw a paycheck without having to work.

Cons

What was once a promising and innovative company has unfortunately become a cautionary tale. Since the private equity acquisition, leadership has changed drastically—and not for the better. The new CEO, who has zero medical or industry-specific background, is steering the company without a clear understanding of the products, customers, or market needs. Seasoned employees, those who actually understood the product and tried to help course-correct have been systematically pushed out. Their insight and experience were dismissed as “resistance to change,” when in reality, they were trying to prevent the ship from sinking. Sadly, those voices are now gone, and so is the deep institutional knowledge that once made this company strong. To make matters worse, long-time employees have seen their benefits stripped away, seemingly to make room for new hires in leadership positions, many of whom have even less relevant experience or understanding of the company’s core offerings. The engineering and product teams have been decimated. Most of the individuals who truly knew the inner workings of the product and the codebase have walked out the door. What’s left is a shell of what the company used to be, with low morale, mass confusion, and little direction. Meanwhile, leadership continues to put on a good face, offering hollow words and empty promises in an attempt to maintain appearances. Many of the positive reviews here were orchestrated by executive leadership, while honest critical feedback has quietly disappeared following a company name change. Advice to job seekers: Proceed with extreme caution. The company is in a state of ongoing turmoil, and unless there is a complete change in direction and leadership, it’s unlikely to recover anytime soon.
