Pros

The company has a great mission and there is a lot that can be learned within the company if you are interested in oncology or health IT. The relationship with US Oncology Network provides Ontada with a strategic advantage and is likely the company's only saving grace.

Cons

Unfortunately, the environment is highly competitive and fear-based. You will be thrown under the bus on a regular basis. Furthermore, management pushes employees to the brink for no reason other than to save face and further their own careers. Management does not know how to prioritize and employees are constantly putting out fires. Management then has the gall to question why mistakes are made. There is no slack time in the company, making it difficult to connect with and learn from SMEs (everyone is always busy putting out a fire). Organizational communication is generally poor, making it difficult for this remote workforce to get and remain aligned. It is, unfortunately, the worst company I have worked for in my career.

Pros

The compensation is competitive, the benefits are excellent, and many colleagues you’ll work with are smart, talented, and supportive.

Cons

While the pay and benefits may initially seem appealing, anyone considering a role at Ontada should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages before accepting the position. The culture is deeply toxic, driven by poor and disconnected leadership that lacks transparency and shows little regard for employee well-being. You can expect to work well over 55 hours each week as the norm—not the exception—without any acknowledgment or compensation for burnout. There is little to no opportunity for professional growth or skill development, making it easy to stagnate in your role. Leadership creates an environment of mistrust, and communication often feels evasive or manipulative. One of the most glaring issues is the lack of BIPOC representation in leadership positions, which fosters a sense of exclusion and limits diverse perspectives at the decision-making table. If you're seeking a place to grow, be supported, and maintain a healthy work-life balance, Ontada may not be the right environment for you.
