MedAssets Reviews

Former Employee – worked at MedAssets full-time

Pros – I am genuinely impressed by the company's dedication to social programs, veterans, charity, etc. They are lenient, allowing flexible hours and work location. The management is dedicated and smart. This is a good employer.

Cons – Health insurance offering is poor quality and expensive. Some aspects of the company are a little disorganized, but nothing too severe.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at MedAssets full-time

Pros – Growing market leader
Fast-paced environment with lots of great people
Recent new management hires should be good for business
Excellent work/life balance (most of the time) and decent comp and benefits
I get our company mission to help hospitals perform better financially and operationally in this craaaazy healthcare market

Cons – Too many complainers on this message board, so either talk to someone about your "issues" or get the heck out
Our long-term strategy still seems like a lot of smoke and mirrors

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you're doing, but talk more about specific business details and less about the new Plano office.
A lot of operational and leadership change has been causing stress, but change for us is good as long as it turns into better performance, better definition of roles and responsibility, and more accountability (at all levels) for results

Current Employee – been working at MedAssets full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – I have been lucky to have some great managers that understand the family/work balance. Love the compassion MedAssets has for charity and giving back.

Cons – There are constant leadership changes, so it makes it difficult to know what direction we are going in.

Current Employee – been working at MedAssets full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Positive business opportunities in a healthcare market that really needs our help. This is still a relatively young company that seems to have finally swallowed its acquisitions and begun to operate the businesses in a professional manner.

Cons – Still not enough professional management in place at the business segment/unit level. Seems like we finally have a COO with Operating experience, but still waiting to see if he can implement the right changes.

Advice to Senior Management – Communicate more and in a clear way. I want to know what comcrete, fact-based plans we have to grow our business.

Current Employee – been working at MedAssets full-time for more than a year

Pros – Competitive pay great benefits good people and great opportunity. Promotions are maenly internal and very frequent

Cons – Some miserable staff lack of formal training program system problems

Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of the employes who are dragging down moral, they act like mgmt owes them something or like their not getting paid we all know people begging for jobs and some of these people here act likke they made it in life already. Managment is young with a divers mix of talent, some very experience and some up and coming but most of them are really focused on succeeding and always available to help. Lots of promotions as they are grwoing. The opportunity to make a diffrence here is more than anywhere I have worked or herd about. If you are a hard worker and motivated to do well in a career, no better place in the area to work for and grow with, just ignore the miserable ones though.

Pros – MedAssets has the well deserved reputation (from both hospitals and vendors) of being fair and ethical, unlike Broadlane. I have nothing but praise for John Bardis, he is the best of the best. John is not driven by the all too common attitude of "How much money can I squeeze out of you and how fast can I get it?" John employs an attitude of - I am here to help you save money, streamline and become a more profitable company. Thus, the company is more than willing to pay MedAssets with part of the profits. A win/win situation.

Cons – Sole source, manditory contracts are forced.

Advice to Senior Management – If something is too good to be true, it usually is not true. Statistical data, promising untold riches needs to be investigated as to the true impact it has on your customers.

Current Employee – been working at MedAssets

Pros – Fun parties, good people, open communication. I'm never afraid to mention something to my peers or manager. They go out of their way to make communication inviting.

Cons – Too big to actually get anything done, unless you ignore everybody and do everything yourself without telling anyone about it. IT bureaucracy is inexcusable and completely ineffective. Management goes on and on about how they're championing training, but when something is suggested, it get lost in miles of red tape and never gets implemented.

Advice to Senior Management – Make training a priority, and seriously mean it. Cut the red tape in IT. The Help Desk is an expensive joke.

Pros – Strong company. Sound future. Dynamic leadership. Fun.

Cons – A little too party hearty, but that's just how they operate with customers and vendors. Not so bad.

Advice to Senior Management – Better health benefits. The plans available in 2012 are paltry and 2013 will be worse with the loss of the open access option. Cut the off color jokes in meetings and all hands calls. Political speeches also not appreciated by those with less conservative ideas. Other than that, dynamic and exciting times ahead and I feel like we are well led.

Pros – Bardis has a great vision and more energy than any CEO I've worked for. His humanitarian contributions are also very evident with the many outreach programs we fund. When he speaks, people listen and are engaged. Change is also coming. I've been here five years now and am hopeful we can make the turn around back to an agile and technology forward organization.

The acquisition of Accurohealth meant instant positive balance sheet impact and great high ROI, revenue generating, customer loved and best in class products. Unfortunately most of these people who built these wonderfully successful companies and products were orged out.

Cons – We struggle when it comes to rewarding the actual work done. In the past when one of the many segment organizations fails to meet quota, everyone gets no bonus no matter how hard they worked. MBOs (goals) were not defined for many until July and don't reward innovation.

We need better training for the many new managers and "blue boxes" (VPs) in the org chart. Some micromanage to the point of burning out their reports and add little value. Recently it felt like all chiefs and no indians in some groups.

For a healthcare services company our benefits really suck.

Advice to Senior Management – MedAssets could be an absolute fantastic place to work with a few changes.

Break up the segments and split "pro" and B2B off into their own lightweight organizations with targeted solutions and development groups. Invest heavily in new technology and more hands to build the next generations of solutions. We need a defined strategy for mobile and cloud while they are still "new".

Why is RCT Development barely 5% of the overall workforce when those are the ones building and inventing the tools to sell? Does it really take 95% to sell, support, and operate those tools? That's only one in twenty making the product and nineteen supporting it!
