Pros

In the few years I’ve been with Waystar in sales, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some ridiculously smart, driven and passionate people. Everyone is always happy to pass their knowledge along and help each other out, even between departments, which is really refreshing. Selling is always much easier when you believe in your pitch. I truly feel that Waystar’s solutions make a difference for our clients which brings me a lot of satisfaction and pride in what I do.

Cons

We have experienced a lot of change in the past year, which can be distracting. However, we have a strong mission and purpose that is easy to galvanize around, which helps me focus on the task at hand.

Pros

Strong in office culture, catered lunch weekly Meaningful work, interesting problems Many opportunities for growth Better gender diversity than other engineering orgs Great teamworking, many opportunities to make real impact. Opportunities for recognition Quarterly on-sites which could promote remote employee inclusion (if they actually showed up)

Cons

Intense on-call rotations, every 2-5 weeks depending on team. No additional compensation for on-call work even if team is smaller and rotations are more frequent. Legacy tech stack, little focus on tech debt as clients are king. Overworked SRE team so devs own as much of infrastructure as they can. Re orgs almost every year, usually more confusing than helpful from an individual contributor level Alcohol heavy culture. Explicitly, not a great place to be if you have a strained relationship with drinking. Product dept had some star team members but a few PMs were unengaged, lacking knowledge, and difficult to interact with Pay was not competitive. Leadership has varying levels of engagement in / knowledge of the work and varying levels of respect for work-life balance. Very young leadership team. Junior to senior ratio > 2. Co-ops can get more attention and exposure than some new hires. Mission has shifted from a focus on patient satisfaction to a focus on profits for providers. Remote employees given food/lodging during onsites, but local employees not compensated. All new hires expected to be local which limits talent pool, espc for senior engineers.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed reflection on your experience at Waystar. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that our culture, meaningful work, and opportunities for growth and recognition made a positive impact. We also value the collaboration across teams and our focus on inclusion. As Waystar scales, feedback like this helps us identify where we can improve. We recognize the importance of supporting sustainable workloads, providing clarity during organizational changes, and driving consistent leadership engagement across teams. We also focus on advancing our technology, strengthening cross-functional partnership, and enhancing our total rewards approach to meet the needs of our team members. We want to be clear that Waystar is not, nor do we aspire to be, an environment centered around alcohol. We focus on building a professional, inclusive, and balanced culture where employees can connect in ways that are comfortable for everyone. From time to time, we host optional social events (as many organizations do), but we’re intentional about offering a variety of ways for employees to engage - both with and without alcohol. We’re always working to improve, and we appreciate perspectives that help ensure our culture reflects who we strive to be. We appreciate you sharing your perspective. Your feedback helps us build a more balanced and supportive experience for all team members. If you’d like to discuss this further, please reach out to peopleteam@waystar.com.
