What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
They need to stop talking so badly about everyone in the office behind their backs. Made me anxious about what could be said about me when I'm not there
Culture is simply awful. Everyone seems to be so untrusting and ready to escalate at a moment's notice, instead of building rapport and getting to know each other. People seem on the edge and just a horrible cutthroat environment. The open floor concept seems to make matters worse.
Nepotism at its best. Half my team was amazing- dedicate and hardworking. The other half were friends hired by a director....who promptly promoted them, ignoring all the worker bees who've been with the company longer.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everyone works together as a team
working hard to restore culture to 2020 - will take time
Patient focus, and can-do attitude
Innovative Fun Supportive rewarding understanding
The compensation/benefits and Seaport location.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Less fake attitudes and manager blatantly showing favouritism and ignoring individuals they already chose not to like before getting to know them.
There is no culture. After a huge round of layoffs, Rana Strellis was brought in to reinvent the company. She works part-time, is remote, and is rarely seen in the office, and nobody has any idea what she does. She's best friends with the CEO, so, connect the dots.
What did you like most about the interview process?
inclusive, diverse, thought provoking questions
Clear and straight forward process. Quick feedback
Meeting a diverse group of people
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Recruiter was so rude. Should have taken that red flag more seriously.

the work i do - impact to patients
Making a difference to patients lives
My team and supportive leadership
The projects I work on. The overall mission of the company. Too bad the culture is awful!
