Pros

• Decent contractor pay • Respectable benefits package for full-time employees • Interesting projects in healthcare tech • Some talented developers and team leads • Strong brand name on resume • Work-life balance is generally respected

Cons

• Shocking 40% pay cut when converting from contractor to full-time • Head of software engineering has zero software engineering experience (post-2024 layoffs) • Extreme educational bias - undergraduate degrees treated as worthless, talented self-taught or Bootcamp Engineers are being looked down upon • Top performers fired based on credentials, not actual performance while management claims it was performance despite their direct leadership saying otherwise • Aggressive offshoring of software projects • Toxic culture since the 2023 layoffs that continues to worsen • Pure politics determines advancement, not skill or results • Management treats employees as disposable numbers • "Yes-men" culture enforced throughout leadership
