Pros

Could be a game changing idea within healthcare by allowing people to control their health data. Great work atmosphere, people, and work flexibility. Truly enjoyed the team and environment. Smart people behind the scenes that are working on building a healthcare data exchange. Have recently been building out the data team to better the product

Cons

The product doesn’t matchup with the needs in the market currently. There are too many steps to allow a user to connect their data sources. Being a startup, they haven’t been able to take advantage of being nimble and flexible within development. When customers said they needed features it would take far too long to have them implemented. The product is in very early stages and needs to mature to make an impact. The market is highly limited, much more than the management will accept.

Pros

My context: relatively new hire as of this writing. I work with all facets of the business from sales to ops to engineering, etc; lived through startup life before. Human API is/has: -Trying to solve a big health data problem that is functionally critical (not "fuzzy") -Dedicated and solid core of people who are smart and passionate. Strong personalities, but importantly, open minded. -Market traction: while a complex product, nearly all potential customers take our call, or are reaching out proactively -(As of this writing) extremely dynamic/important time both in market and team development: every new person and customer makes a difference. As for other poor/sarcastic reviews, my advice to candidates: come and see for yourself, and ask lots of questions.

Cons

These are more considerations--the company is too small not to determine your own destiny at any level and one man's trash is another's treasure. No red alarms that aren't typical growing pains at a company of our size--there are never enough resources and getting through this the point of being in a startup. Problems this quarter are strengths two quarters from now, etc. Those not use to working with larger enterprise customers should expect long sales cycles. Use of health data is very much in its infancy in a lot of respects--prepare for the long game and battling deep entrenchment.
