Pros

working from home was the only benefit

Cons

Extremely dissatisfied with this company. I worked as a physician advisor for several months and found the environment to be highly unprofessional and discouraging. Leadership was particularly problematic. Clinical case reviews were handled inconsistently, with pressure to classify straightforward conditions—such as uncomplicated UTIs—as inpatient admissions. When these determinations were denied, blame was placed on the advisor rather than on the flawed review process itself. The role was marked by excessive micromanagement and a lack of respect for physician judgment. Expectations focused disproportionately on formatting details—such as punctuation and grammar—rather than on clinical reasoning or appropriate utilization review. Physicians were treated in a condescending manner rather than as experienced professionals. Overall, this was a frustrating and demoralizing workplace with unrealistic expectations, poor leadership support, and a culture that did not value clinical expertise. I would strongly caution physicians to carefully consider this before accepting a position with this company.

Pros

Some capable and hardworking colleagues on the team.

Cons

The workload and expectations during my 3-4 years here were genuinely unsustainable. Deadlines were routinely set within hours or a single day, making quality output difficult. There was no real separation between work and personal time — nights, weekends, and holidays were regularly consumed by work demands. During my tenure, I witnessed roughly 10-12 colleagues separated from the company, often for performance reasons, despite what appeared to be sincere effort. More concerningly, I personally experienced and observed what I can only describe as discriminatory behavior and prejudice within the Data team. Certain employees were treated unequally based on factors that had nothing to do with performance or merit. This pattern appeared to be known at senior leadership and CTO level without meaningful intervention or accountability. Favoritism and racism were noticeable in how opportunities and recognition were distributed. For employees with families or from minority backgrounds, the environment was particularly difficult to navigate. The cumulative stress had a serious impact on my physical and mental health, and on my personal life.
