Vantaggi
Management is very focused on both people and success. The company has a core set of values and the importance of those values are discussed regularly during team meetings and town hall events. Working from home has been a nice changes as I came from a job that was required to be in-office 5 days a week. I was a little concerned that working from home would feel isolated but that has not been the case as Waystar has a standing rule that all calls are done on video. This makes a huge difference in feeling that you remain connected with your group. Everyone that I have met or worked with so far is very friendly, helpful, and professional. All in all while I have only been here a few months the experience has been great so far and I am glad I made the decision to join the Waystar team.
Svantaggi
I really haven't seen anything that gives me concern at this point.
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.
