Recent shift to a toxic culture

Pros

Remote work. Opportunities for lateral movement

Cons

The company changed a lot over the last year, especially after the Recura acquisition. Workloads got significantly heavier, but instead of backfilling people who left, responsibilities just kept getting redistributed to whoever remained. There became this unspoken expectation that everyone should just work well beyond 40 hours a week to keep things afloat, without additional compensation, tools, or recognition. One of the frustrating parts was that leadership asked for employee feedback through surveys, and the biggest issue people raised was bandwidth and burnout, but nothing really changed afterward. If anything, things worsened. Then there was a pretty rough round of layoffs/RIFs that hit people who had been there forever, including some really talented and respected employees. A lot of middle management and top performers left too, either because they were burned out or didn’t agree with the direction leadership was taking things. Keri and the c-suite do a good job acting like they care. They say all the right things but then promote the opposite. And middle management is too afraid to push back anymore. The culture also shifted in a way that felt a lot more fear-driven than collaborative. It became very “do more with less” with a forced positivity vibe from leadership, while a lot of teams were struggling behind the scenes. There was a noticeable disconnect between what employees were experiencing day-to-day and how leadership talked about the company publicly. They act like we’re the market leader, when we’re not. And a lot of the industry thinks we’re a joke now. Historically, PatientNow had a strong reputation in the aesthetics industry, good partnerships, and decent thought leadership. Lately it felt more reactive and scattered. The Recura product itself was pretty buggy, and instead of doubling down on improving the flagship platform and customer experience, there seemed to be constant context switching and fire drills. It’s like we’re doubling down on bad investments. I also heard a lot more frustration from customers and partners than I used to at events. if you’re looking for stability, healthy leadership, strong culture, or good work-life balance, I’d be cautious. It’s just not the same company it was a couple years ago.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and remote environment.

Cons

While there were genuinely good people throughout the organization who worked hard and cared about customers and their teammates, my overall experience was challenging due to a lack of structure, support, and consistent leadership. The workload was often overwhelming, with responsibilities continually being added while resources, training, and support remained limited. Expectations were extremely high, yet employees were frequently left to figure out new processes, policies, products, and platform changes on their own. Rather than receiving guidance from leadership, many frontline employees were expected to create solutions without clear direction. Unnecessary meetings every day all day also took away from the ability to actually hit the ground running and do your work. One of the most frustrating aspects was the constant change in leadership and priorities. It often felt like organizational direction shifted every few weeks, making it difficult to build momentum or execute long-term strategies. There was a heavy focus placed on certain products while others received little attention, creating confusion about priorities and making it harder to effectively support customers across the business. Micromanagement was common, but meaningful coaching and assistance were often lacking. Managers closely monitored activity and results, yet when new responsibilities were introduced, employees were frequently left without the training or support needed to succeed. There was a significant disconnect between expectations and the resources provided to meet them. There were also instances where opportunities, initiatives, and promises made to employees never materialized. Favoritism appeared to influence who received visibility, support, and opportunities, while others delivering strong results felt overlooked. Additionally, compensation and career growth often did not feel competitive with similar roles in the market. Cross-functional collaboration was difficult because most teams were stretched thin and operating under the same challenges. Miscommunication, lack of ownership, and burnout became recurring issues, and instead of addressing root causes, additional responsibilities continued to be added. The company has talented employees who are doing their best, but in my experience the organization lacked the leadership, consistency, communication, and support necessary for employees to thrive.

Pros

Remote position, benefits were average at best

Cons

I worked for PN for 5 years and within that time the company hired and fired 6 CEOs, countless members of management, and senior leaders. This loan should tell you how this company operates as an organization.
