Vantaggi
Management had a few goals
Svantaggi
I was working in an understaffed part of the company and was laid off when WayStar acquired my company. The rest of my staff quit with 2 months because they were toxic and didn’t help them succeed. The morning I was laid off they scheduled a meeting at 8 am for 12:30 (went through multiple meetings with a fake face) and I had to go through knowing I was laid off. The meeting they told me I couldn’t have my camera on and couldn’t give me personal info like why I was laid off. They clearly have a toxic management within the company and I would avoid at all costs. My coworkers later told me they had to quit because they couldn’t handle the workload. Waystar is a toxic company who is only looking to buyout competitors not actually build their company
Vantaggi
Great culture, good people, Unlimited PTO
Svantaggi
None that I can think of
Vantaggi
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)
Svantaggi
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.
