Pluspunten

Direct manager and teammates are great and some of the best I've worked with in my career. The work itself can be rewarding and feel impactful at times.

Minpunten

Senior leadership is consistently rug-pulling and lying to us. When I joined the RSU price I was told during the interview process was a lie. Last year they stopped comping health insurance but told us they would grandfather in everyone who had been comped with a stipend to cover the plan cost in perpetuity to keep us whole. A year later they have gone back on that and removed that stipend, which amounts to a paycut of up to $17,000 if you were an employee with the family insurance plan. If you are a software engineer, the benefits package offered here starting in 2025 is laughable and you can do much better almost anywhere else outside of the healthcare space They also used to offer a generous parental leave of 20 weeks for both birthing and non-birthing parents, but that is now reduced to 16 weeks for birthing parents and 8 weeks for non-birthing parents. Go figure why they thought it would be a good idea to change from equal leave to unequal leave The health insurance provider HealthComp they use is awful and conveniently owned by the same venture capital company that owns the majority stake in Datavant. I'm constantly having to be on the phone to deal with mistakes in how I was charged because of their incompetence.

Pluspunten

Great team members and supportive, responsive, genuine team leads.

Minpunten

Low pay, especially considering stress and workload. No raises in 4 years. Constant write-ups for missing unattainable goals. Changed teams and managers involuntarily about 4 times during my career. Was hired as a lead, but they "reorganized" within a month, and I lost my title and privileges. As soon as I was getting the hang of the work, boom, they switch me to a new team with different work forcing me to relearn, and they wonder why I couldn't meet the goal. Terrible micromanagement, as in "what did you work on", "what are you doing" "why are you doing that" every single day. Only way to meet the goal number is to work 1-2 hours over your shift time off the clock. Health insurance is expensive and doesn't cover anything. Dental insurance won't even fully cover 2 cleanings in a year. Ever seen the show Severance? My girlfriend and I actually talked about how eerily similar the work experience is for this company.
