Arcadia.io Reviews

Pros

Highly flexible work environment. Company is very willing to allow flexible hours, remote work, as long as high quality work is being done in a timely fashion. A lot of good, smart, talented people to work with.

Cons

Growing pains and shifts in technology are creating some challenges as the company goes through a transitional phase. What used to be a nice, flat management structure is becoming more vertical and bureaucratic. Salaries are somewhat below industry standards. Lots of turnover recently at various levels of the business. Review process seems to change every year.

Advice to Management

Settle on new technology strategy for the next phase of the company's core platform. There is some tail wagging the dog syndrome setting in.

Pros

Relatively flat organizational structure. Senior managers and execs are easy to access. Great customers who are really enthusiastic about the technology and services that the teams deliver. There is a ton of flexibility in work environment, but also an expectation to work more than a typical 9-5.

Cons

The office is far from public transportation and the local area is in office-park hell. Not much networking opportunities with other startup like companies, so working at Arcadia can feel a bit isolated.

Advice to Management

Some small investments will go a long way. A refreshed office, some better in-office snacks would be great. Better team outings, more frequently. Running the Arcadia Awards ceremony more frequently (bi-annually?) would also be a big morale booster. Bring back entry-level recruiting. There's been too much churn of the alleged "seasoned industry experts" when your best talent are those who grew up in the... business.

Pros

very flexible, very smart people, lots of variety, could really take off

Cons

high turnover, offices not valued equally, office politics

Pros

As a recent hire, I wanted to acknowledge the well orchestrated recruiting process + orientation roll out. I have never been at a company that has such a comprehensive and extensive training program that will equip me for success. Everyone I have met within the company has an extensive industry knowledge and background. This company is on a significant growth trajectory.

Cons

There have been no cons to date!

Pros

Great work life balance, on the edge of the exciting field of pop health

Cons

To get anywhere you need to be part of the in crowd

Advice to Management

Invest in career development

Pros

Great, wicked smaht colleagues. Lots of promising business, clients and partnerships. Opportunities for growth.The company seems to be a growing leader in the market.

Cons

New HR is the wicked witch of the east and finance leadership is extremely out of touch. They are focusing on squeezing every penny from employees and the company. Many people have begun interviewing elsewhere because of poorly handled recent restructuring. Company trimmed its fat some of which made sense other seemed random.Long hours and so so pay.

Advice to Management

Dont take more benefits like free phones away from people if you want to keep good people. Several companies are beginning to poach people.

Pros

Smart, collaborative teammates, interesting healthcare data, meaningful business problems to solve, room for innovation

Cons

Focus seems to be on propping up short-term numbers for likely sale of the company. The interesting technical work has moved to Pittsburgh; they are gutting other teams working on current products and clients even though sales are booming. Trust between leadership and staff is very low. Culture is great if you're a young white male from an elite school.

Pros

Great culture with opportunity to grow on trajectory for big things

Cons

Growing companies have bumps in the road and may not be for everyone
