Pros

You can work remote. That’s about it.

Cons

They lie about unlimited PTO. The vacation is unlimited IF you can take any because they create all of these rules and regulations surrounding the usage constantly. The unlimited sick is a flat out lie. Sure you technically have unlimited sick days. But every time you’re actually sick - note, no note, on your deathbed in the ER - you accumulate a point. After 7 points they’ll fire you. That isn’t how unlimited works. In regard to training, it is two weeks of absolutely useless information that will not apply to the position you are in at all. You are told to lie to clients / patients and refer them to the department of health for certain questions or their insurance. And make sure your calls don’t go over 7 minutes oh no!! The company prides themselves on support and always being there for employees. That entails a Slack channel and a “help desk” where supervisory employees are supposed to answer questions you have for clients that are CURRENTLY on the phone with you. This seems great in theory but what it ends up being is you telling a client every three minutes (company mandates) to continue to hold as you “research” their account more. Meanwhile you are waiting for a reply on the helpless desk for over half an hour. Clients will curse you out because of this useless policy, hang up on you and more. The company also cannot keep an entire training class. Not only in my training class, but multiple other employees who I will not mention have told me their training classes started with about 10-14 people. By the end of it, an average of 4-5 remained. They cannot keep people! Overall, this company is run like an absolute train wreck and I will be resigning very shortly. Every single thing they will tell you in the beginning to make it seem shiny and pretty and great is an absolute lie or if anything at least a stretch. Run for the hills. Last fact: Don’t believe the positive recent reviews from the last few months. The upper management actually requests all employees like, share and talk positively about the company on Linked In. I would not be surprised if GlassDoor was a new thing too.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We have worked together closely with the Service Center and other departments to ensure that the flexible PTO policy is fair and equitable for all Cedarians. We are always open to talking through ways we can improve. As it relates to training it is our hope that every employee that leaves a training class feels well equipped to handle their role. This is a work in progress and we would also be happy to talk through improvements. If you would like the opportunity to voice your concerns we have regular office hours on the company calendar for the people team. Including one that is specific to the Service Center. Please feel free to reach out for times and days.

Pros

People here are truly smart and kind, very mission driven vibe. Managers care about your growth. Pretty cutting edge in terms of agentic tooling and AI use, but also overall mindful. Work is interesting and validating.

Cons

Struggles with product market fit, Epic headwind is real.

Pros

Incredibly talented, smart people. Mission driven work. High ownership environment- good place to stretch quickly

Cons

Cedar has strong talent and an important mission, but ongoing strategic changes and leadership inconsistency make it a difficult place to do sustained, high quality work Company direction is extremely uncertain and shifts frequently (about every 6 months), which makes it hard to see initiatives through . These shifts often happen without clear follow through or measurable outcomes Leadership alignment appears inconsistent - which leads to constant reprioritization and confusion on what actually matters Decision making is slow and often unclear from leadership, causing unnecessary swirl rather than forward progress Attrition is a problem right now with most roles not being backfilled. Also several silent layoffs have happened recently which has negatively impacted morale and trust. Leadership still expects high performance, but is doing nothing to address morale or to incentivize sustained performance Favoritism is rampant in some departments, affecting visibility and promotion outcomes - performance alone does not always drive advancement making it feel non-meritocratic Significant executive turnover over the past 1.5 years, which contributes to the broader sense of instability. I would ask about this if I were interviewing at cedar
