Pros

Best Practice has a strong legacy as a leader in Australian healthcare. They've made a great impact to the industry over many years and has historically earned a reputation for strong customer focus. The company also offers excellent work-life balance, including flexible working arrangements and work-from-home opportunities, which I genuinely appreciated. Unfortunately, more recent organisational changes have not reflected those same strengths in my experience.

Cons

By the time I left the company, I felt the culture had deteriorated significantly. The company seemed to lose a clear sense of strategic direction, and leadership became increasingly inconsistent. Behaviours that damaged trust and collaboration were tolerated, making the workplace increasingly stressful and unsettled. This was particularly disappointing because many employees and leaders remained genuinely committed to the company's success. I also witnessed the departure of many talented and experienced colleagues, which was a significant loss for the business. For these reasons, I could not, in good conscience, recommend the company to a friend at present.

Competitive Pay: Receive attractive salaries and comprehensive health benefits. Continuous Innovation: Work at the cutting edge of tech and healthcare. Strong Job Security: Join a stable, recession-resistant, and growing industry.

Cons

Strict Regulations: Navigating complex compliance standards like HIPAA can be highly stressful and slow down development. High-Stakes Pressure: Software bugs can directly impact patient safety, creating a high-pressure work environment. Slow Development Cycles: Extensive testing and regulatory approvals often lead to longer release cycles and less agile workflows. Complex Domain Knowledge: Engineers must constantly learn difficult medical terminology and intricate clinical workflows. Legacy Tech Stacks: Many healthcare systems rely on outdated technology, which can be frustrating for developers wanting to use modern tools.

Pros

Was a great company until about one year ago, where it took a big nose dive. The leadership team pivoted yet again about direction, and then blamed all the staff who were doing what they were told in the previous pivot for being where they were.

Cons

Well, team spirit is non- existent. The workforce is full of bullies at a senior level. Sometimes nice to your face but then you hear what they are saying. Senior leadership people smirking in video conferences, belittling people. Horrible, horrible place. This is why I will not identify myself.
