Pros

The technology really is amazing and will one day revolutionize cardiac care.

Cons

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.

Pros

The Mission: It is incredibly motivating to come to work knowing that our technology is changing how heart disease is diagnosed. You feel the impact daily. The People: My colleagues are genuinely smart, kind, and collaborative. There is very little ego here; everyone is focused on solving problems together.

Cons

Because the company is growing and evolving, processes can sometimes change quickly. You need to be adaptable and comfortable with a bit of ambiguity as we scale.

Pros

HeartFlow is an innovative company with a strong mission, smart and dedicated employees, and meaningful work that has real impact on patient care. The pace is fast and many teams are collaborative, passionate, and deeply committed to advancing healthcare technology.

Cons

While the company has strong technology and talented employees, the environment can be challenging due to dysfunctional leadership dynamics, inconsistent decision-making, and a culture that at times feels driven by fear and favoritism. Concerns around toxic executive behavior, lack of accountability, and discriminatory practices have negatively impacted morale, trust, and employee retention.
