Is this your company?

In the beginning it was the best job I ever had; by the end, it was the worst job I ever had. - Anonymous employee Medical Simulation Employee Review

Pros

Very fun, engaging products to work on. The core Medical Products team (Art, Hardware Engineers, Software Engineers, and Clinical) were some of the smartest, brightest, hardworking people I've ever had the honor of working with. The technology being developed was cutting-edge and was way beyond what competitors were able to deliver; although, it did take longer to develop simulations compared to competitors.

Cons

The upper management was/is driving the company into the ground. Focus on HPI over MPI hurt the core company product and prevented proper research and development to stay at the top of the medical simulation space. HPI hemorrhaged money and bleed the company dry, requiring more capital from the board and investors. Because of poor performance and low profits, the company became a hostel environment. No one wanted to come to work and you could see dread in people as the continued to go through the motions. After HPI all but failed, focus went back to MPI. Generic content became the focus and the team was constantly pressured to make the process faster, cheaper, but still maintain our established level of quality. This put a strain and stress on the team. Was giving a sizable amount vested stock options as a hiring bonus that were worthless by the time I let. Was promised yearly bonuses and raises when I was hired, but never received either.

Every week we see similar postings, usually paid for by a competitor, to defame the company and its management. The postings are part of a campaign to discredit the significant financial and operational accomplishment made over the past three years to devalue the company for their financial gain. If you are interested in joining a great group of professionals visit our website, www.medisulation.com and visit our employment page, don’t allow someone’s agenda discourage you from joining a great company.

Pros

2 of MSC 3 business lines, medical simulation and training, are being sold to a competitor for chump change. It was announced on Businesswire. Those of us going over are excited. Finally working with honest competent leaders. WOOHOO! The looks on our MSC leaders’ faces after the announcement. PRICELESS! The deal was done over their heads at the board level so it was OBVIOUSLY a surprise. NO WIN FOR THEM!

Cons

“Turned the place around”. “Great place”. LMAO. The company is finished. Earlier genuine reviews called it. It was a distressed sale. Today’s leaders contributions put and kept us in the red for over 2 years. Consistent headcount turnovers why our numbers ever moved in the right direction. Almost all the staff left or were let go right before Christmas. The 2 leaders’ undeserved salaries were barely covered with revenues this year. The investors and Board sold cos they were sick of today’s leaders awful performance, customers the leaders alienated and leaders repeated failures trying to sell MSC. Everybody’s eating a loss thx to the leaders inability to do their jobs. With leaders’ flop of MSC and market’s dismissal of our HPI health performance software, their “invigorated focus on HPI” mentioned in the press release will fail. There are no resources, recurring revenue or cross sell opportunities to get HPI in the door. It can’t make it alone, esp under the leaders guidance. For anyone investing in HPI, bridge or other, a sucker is born every minute.
