Heartflow Reviews

Unfortunately, the senior management team has created a toxic work environment, and they are not aligned on a strategy to execute. They have too many concurrent, high priority projects for the limited resources available and they have poor planning practices. The company consistently keeps missing its goals. It never meets its numbers. Product development schedules are consistently missed and the product quality is not what one expects from a company delivering a medical service. As a consequence, some employees burn out. The C-level executives are rarely in the office. They manage employees by requesting anonymous reviews from other employees. They often act on the unfounded criticisms of a small group. Often, the people subject to bad reviews have no opportunity to respond. Over the years, some employees that received good to excellent face-to-face reviews from their manager have been terminated without warning. If they are not happy with an employee, they often don't discuss the situation with the employee. Instead, they engage in passive-aggressive behaviors such as: • Removing work responsibility from the employee without discussion, rendering the employee’s role in the company insignificant • Ignoring or downgrading the importance of an employee's feedback or contribution • Excluding an employee from meetings or work without discussion These management techniques and behaviors trickle down through the management chain. The company has a culture where manipulators are often rewarded, to the detriment of the honest employees. As mentioned in previous Glassdoor reviews, the senior management team puts a happy face on almost everything. They cover up problems instead of acknowledging them.

What they don’t tell you is there is really is no path to profitability. The technology currently just isn’t scaleable and requires too much human interaction to truly ramp up. Every year, they will tell you that we are going to have this massive growth and every year we don’t and layoffs happen. The bottom line is cardiologists don’t want to give up the $$$ associated with heart caths. Most of the Directors and above do not have any leadership outside of HeartFlow. It really shows in their overall lack of leadership skills and just look at most of these reviews. Most of the top talent have realized this and left the company in the last few years. You have to be a yes man and not question anything or they will force you out just like our last CEO. As mentioned in several reviews, HR is truly horrendous. They really have no idea what they are doing and perpetuate the toxic culture. The Austin office is a perfect example of this with nearly every original leader gone now. Don’t worry though, HR will tell you how everything is great in all hands meetings but of course they never address any of these reviews or issues brought up. I really wasn’t going to write this review but with the slew of job postings I felt compelled to write it. For all of you potential new hires, please don’t think your shares are going to be worth anything. They will sell you on it but with over 600 million in funding they really can’t get more money and profitability seems impossible. I feel it will be sold for pennies on the dollar and only the original investors will actually make any money which is why I left this year.
