Pros

- A profound commitment to team members. The default answer to most issues ends up being a consideration of what solution is best for the team member. - Challenging environment with an opportunity to learn new things - Benefits and work-life balance and second to none - Leadership is methodical and considerate when making tough decisions - An awesome mission to improve healthcare in the US

Cons

- I've had the opportunity to work for a few managers in my time here and the experience of the team member can still vary greatly from role to role and department to department. - Variation in each team's approach and tools used, this can make things very difficult for cross-functional team members that work with many product teams. - Growing company headaches still remain

Thank you for your thoughts and feedback, informed by over five years at the company! Thank you for all of your contributions during those five-plus years! I share your perspective about the importance of manager development, training and accountability. We are rolling out the 360-degree manager feedback by the end of this year, and we will utilize that information to help us improve in this important area. We've already rolled out the first round, with a subset of leadership team. We'll roll out to the full leadership team and extended leadership team within two weeks, and then extend beyond that by the end of the year. We as a leadership team recognize the central importance of the relationship between the team member and their manager, and we will focus here to enable continuous improvement. Thank you again for your contributions over so many years! Best, Dan

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate your recognition of the strengths the company had before this year and the dedication of team members during challenging times. As we shape our 2026 strategy, we’re carefully evaluating how we allocate resources to ensure organizational success, identifying where to invest and how to utilize those resources most effectively, all guided by a clear and focused plan. Your feedback is helpful, and we will continue to communicate updates as progress is made. -Ben Albert

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.
