Vantaggi

The product is very cool and the R&D team is brilliant

Svantaggi

The code base is a mess. Company takes shortcuts to get product out before it is ready and uses clients to QA. Clique-ish culture, promotes and us vs them culture - us being the popular kids the CEO talks to and them being everyone else. Company consistently over promises and under delivers so the CEO makes everyone focus on sales, even engineering. There is a re-org or layoff every 4-6 months. It seems like the sales team is a mess. The re are new BDRs all the time because they leave -- some BDRs hated it so much they left even though they didn't have a job to go to.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience working at Swift, We do think we have a brilliant R&D team and a product that is very cool. That's why 2000+ healthcare organizations have chosen to trust Swift to enable their doctors and nurses to provide the best wound care possible to patients. With the high level of security and availability needed in healthcare, our product does meet some pretty high standards! One of the reasons developers chose to work at Swift is that they are able to ship code within a few weeks of working here. We believe in giving our team the opportunity to make an impact from the start. That sometimes can lead to mistakes, but it's about how we work together as a team of both engineers and customer success to always make it right by our clients. Regarding staffing changes, there are many reasons why people leave or are let-go here at Swift. We are growing fast, and sometimes those who come onboard aren't a fit for our culture or we're not a fit for what they are looking for. We try to identify this as early as possible, and always treat people that are leaving with respect no matter how long they've been here. We hope that our open concept and many social events give employees an opportunity to meet each other and also engage with our CEO so that cliques don't form. We know we can do better, and have recently started to create more cross-departmental projects that allow people on opposite sides of the office to work together and break down silos.

Vantaggi

Pay and compensation is above market

Svantaggi

The Chief of Staff’s poor behaviour has crushed morale and is widely disliked, contributes no meaningful work or value, and is frankly soul-crushing to be around. It’s baffling how she got the job and the result has been a steady erosion of team spirit. The Chief of Staff’s approach consists primarily of relaying directives from the CEO without contributing independent insight, analysis, or support. With no prior business experience outside of a military background, there is little understanding of the processes involved, which limits the ability to provide guidance beyond repeating instructions. This dynamic offers no meaningful opportunity for team members to learn from or be inspired by leadership.
