Pros

- Flexible schedules and work arrangements. - Above average pay and generous bonus structure - Non-management employees want to do a good job, want to succeed and want their peers to success as well

Cons

Deb Gage named CEO in 2011 which coincidentally(?) is the last year Medecision was awarded as one of the best places to work in PA. I have no idea why they would still want to list, on their website, an award they last won 3 years ago. It raises questions as to what happened in 2012 and 2013. Deb has surrounded herself by people who only agree with her. Recent, abrupt departures and demotions of some senior directors and VPs were of those who: A. Were hired in the pre-Gage era B. Will voice their opinion and provide constructive criticism if they do not agree with a decision or directive. Each of the layoffs in 2011 and 2012 included at least one person who had a noticeable run-in or disagreement with Deb. If the accusations that recent positive reviews on Glassdoor were planted or submitted per Deb's instruction shows that senior management has no interest in understanding why morale is low. This, coupled with a rebranding and an expensive lobby facelift (which was for naught since they moved to a new building) shows they want to mask any problem rather than resolve it.

Pros

The company's management is the best I ever worked with. They listen to their employees and do real tangible steps to creating an environment where people are valued, respected and can really make a difference. The work-life balance is great. Benefits and pay are more than competitive. Most importantly, The company seriously invests in education and training of the employees. There is very reasonable amount of bureaucracy and lots of common sense all around the place.

Cons

1. It's a fully remote company, it would be great to see colleagues in-person more than once a year. 2. It's healthcare so data protection and security measures are on a top end. Not recommended to people who love working from coffee shops and similar. Still allowed though.

Pros

•Pay is good •Some really smart people (most don’t last long)

Cons

This place is incredibly frustrating to work at, and it all comes back to leadership. There’s no real direction. You’ll get put on a project, start building something, and then get pulled off to go work on something else before anything is finished. That cycle just repeats. It feels like the company is constantly busy but never actually accomplishing anything. Leadership is all over the place. Expectations are unclear, change constantly, and aren’t communicated well. You can put together something like an executive summary, and it’ll get completely rewritten into something totally different. At that point you realize you’re not actually working toward a clear goal, you’re just guessing what leadership wants. They hire people with real experience, but then don’t trust them to do their jobs. Everything gets second-guessed or overridden, often by people who are pretty disconnected from what’s actually happening with customers. Speaking of customers, this is one of the biggest problems. We were constantly asked to present data and QBRs that didn’t make sense to the customer. You could see it in the room, they weren’t interested, it didn’t land. Then you bring that feedback back internally and leadership doesn’t want to hear it. There’s very little interest in actually adjusting based on what customers are saying, which is probably why renewals are such a problem. The culture is rough. If you push back or have a different point of view, it doesn’t turn into a discussion, it turns into you getting shut down. After a while, people just stop speaking up. There are also frequent layoffs and a ton of turnover. It’s not surprising. People either leave or get cut because the company can’t execute and customers don’t renew. Overall: The pay is good, but that’s about it. It feels like it’s there to keep people around just long enough before they either leave or get laid off. At the rate things are going, it feels like it’s only a matter of time before the parent company (HCSC) steps in or replaces large portions of the product with automation.
