Pros

Great if you are a software engineering manager and are in the in-crowd with CTO.

Cons

Horrible and non-progressive place for developers. No annual reviews and thus no need to give you a raise for your good work. No clear career path or mobility provided for long-timers. If you are not in the CTO's in-crowd, you will never be acknowledged no matter how hard you work. Lots of good developers have left because of this culture of non-inclusion, and for good reason too.

Brightree does not want any team member to be in the dark about their possible career path, and we know that it's incumbent on the team member and their manager to have open dialogue in this regard. To that end, our CTO has worked diligently mapping out the various ladders and latticework that make up career paths, and is working with the team to make sure all members have a clear understanding of their current status, and where their skills and interests may take them.

Pros

Work from home and one a cent increase towards the end of the year not a dollar but cents

Cons

It has become about hitting sales than actually fixing the internal issues within the company no it’s not a sales job but they actually give you a number that you must uphold and make everytime your on call so everytime a patient say no to supplies it’s like they want you to forcefully harass them on call and state the reason on why they should order never mind that folks in this economy on living to paycheck, can’t afford their insurance payment, or are out of job still don’t matter you have to make sure to let them know why it’s important to order plus with them not being able to keep people they have their offer overtime everyday while policing PTO it’s ridiculous handbook say you have two weeks in advance but since they can’t retain enough people now it’s gotten to the point t you must request PTO a month sometimes even three months you’ll either get denied or approve for partial which in your place on a waitlist it’s crazy sometimes I need mental days off cause this job does take you there especially with the rude callers and dumbfounding management also there’s no room to advance only way is to be a team leader and that’s the only way to get advanced other than that if you don’t wanna be a team leader, you’re stuck being in the same role that you were when you first got hired which sucks
