A revolving door. - Senior Associate Magnolia Innovation Employee Review

This place will burn you out and show you out the door impulsively and without warning the moment you ask for any resemblance of work life balance. If you value job security, don’t work here. The expectation at Magnolia is as follows 8AM to 6PM, then log into to work from home at around 8 o’clock to manage the demand of work due to their revolving door and the partners complete lack of project management skills. They have no system for managing staffing workloads and evenly distributing them. They’ll often fake expertise and say they have “solutions” to anything. This often means they outsource a large part of client work and faking expertise often using google searches to compliment low value analytical frameworks. I’ve seen directors Wikipedia diseases at meeting and pretend they knew what they are talking about. Additionally they encourage associates to be dishonest and inflate their titles in emails to clients to keep the illusion that experienced team members are working on their projects. Stay away- Magnolia will take advantage of you if you allow them to. I worked in Christmas Day- that is real “Magnolia Way”. Lastly, the space they work in is highly unethical. They work with companies to “prove” a disproportional need for drugs to induce insurance companies to pay outrageous prices for these drugs. They train sales teams to get around guardrails like prior authorizations and step therapy. They often stretch the truth about second line drugs with questionable cost effectiveness. Don’t be fooled these are textbook “wannabe” consultants who have either very little or no previous experience in healthcare. If anything , most are glorified market research moderators.
