Pros

Free canned soda. Unlimited payed time off (when allowed).

Cons

They have very disorganized leadership chain. Darin Brannan, while a nice guy, is very passive and lets everyone walk all over him. This place could benefit from a strong CEO. Everyone in the entire company fears changes and it shows. Leadership is driven by the bottom dollar and nothing more. Don’t be fooled when they tell you their mission is to make better healthcare. I would also say this company is hanging on by a thread. The amount of sloppy practice and unclear direction forces all leaders to push for answers now and a ‘we’ll fix it later’ approach. This also means that the many things pushed aside for later are rarely addressed, and when they are, it’s almost always subpar and rushed. Daily, you can cut the uncomfortable stress in the room with a knife. You can almost compare their ‘culture’ with Stockholm syndrome. Aside from the lax security policies, ClearDATA does not care to improve anything about the company. Improving a building does not improve the working environment or the outcomes for their customers. Ask anyone who works there about the unprofessional and questionable efforts around security. This extends beyond employee security practices. This is especially bad since they are in the business of health care security. To get talent in the door, they do offer higher pay than you would expect. Unfortunately, they have extremely expensive healthcare to go with it; expect to pay at least $300 a check for your healthcare premium. Even then, you will pay high for everything when you go to the Dr. Overall; they try to sell you on the idea that ClearDATA is a fun cool startup. In reality, they are a struggling business who throws away employee and business opportunities as if they were trash. There is a market for what they sell, and if they got their act together could be well-off. Sadly, from what I’ve witnessed, they will take the opportunity and flush it down the toilet. I tell everyone I know to run for the hills when considering a job there.

Pros

The Sales team is great, I have formed some incredible bonds, and have learned so much from my team members. The leadership team here really does care about you and your future as well as your well being. I have been here for 2 years and have no complaints.

Cons

no 401k match for employees.

Pros

- Right Leadership in place, in my few years at the org every facet of our business trended positively. In Sales the CRO is very impressive and we’ve made improvements in everything from our sales deck to enablement to comp plans while remaking our entire GTM strategy - Company culture, legitimately felt like a family. Always could find help and support from the SLT down

Cons

- ICP is early-stage heath tech companies, leading to a lot of volatility in the customer base and challenges selling into large enterprises where ClearDATA would like to grow - The organization still feels like a startup when theyve been around 15 years. A lot of the infrastructure that you would expect in a mature company isn’t there
