Pros

Great company for self-starters and those who are excited about the idea of transforming healthcare. Upper management is open and transparent about the current and future state of the company. Politics are kept at a minimum because most people understand that the work needs to get done. The mission, values and culture are embedded in the company--they're not merely words on a slide deck. The perks are pretty good as well, including reimbursements (mass transit, internet, phone, gym to name a few), snacks in the break room and a new on-site gym with fitness classes.

Cons

The only con is that the company is going through growing pains as its size has doubled in the last 1.5 years. With a smaller company things can change quickly, so employees must be flexible. However, I also view this as a pro because it means the company is not rigid in its approach and is willing to admit something isn't working and then change.

Agree with your comments from top to bottom, including the feedback. Culture IS a huge deal. We do need to improve communications throughout the org structure. Thanks again!

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
