Pros
Very progressive company that values all employees and what they can contribute; there is a lot of career growth and ton of hiring going on; financial outlook looks strong; they empower employees to work independently without being micromanaged; the campus in Watertown is beautiful - really a first-class work environment; employees are very high caliber with a lot of talent and drive to contribute. The company has a great mission that affects the lives of all Americans. If you like dogs, you can bring your dog to work. I highly recommend the company and am happy working there.
Cons
Not many cons, if any. I think it's the best company I've worked at.

Pros
Solid leadership, great communications, flexible PTO and amazing employees

Lots of type A personalities, which is great, but makes for long working hours
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Health Benefits day 1, Everyone is treated like an adult, Inclusive atmosphere, Fun atmosphere, Plenty of growth opportunities, They invest in you, Reasonable expectation of onboarding, SO MANY options for 'getting to know' your colleagues virtually, Transparent, Dedication to diversity and it isn't just lip service.
Cons

- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Work-life balance is unparalleled at athena; no crazy hours, just get your job done. The benefits are good as well. Also, the people here are amazing. You’ll get to work with some of the brightest minds in health tech. In addition, you are given complete autonomy and are trusted by management to make the right calls. athena is growing right now and, ever since the acquisition, it’s a more mature company. Some believe it is on track for an IPO soon. Right now, athena is a hidden gem. Not a lot of people are aware how good it is working here.
Cons
Compensation could be more competitive.

Not a good place to work for underrepresented minorities in tech
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good flexibility in working hours and taking time out of your day for appointments. Co-workers are the reason I stay.
Cons
If you are not in the 1% lucky enough to work in microservices, you work in the Monolith. The Monolith is a perl stack with nonfunctional staging servers and broken development tools. This has been brought up as a pain point multiple times, and the current attempt at a solution is to encourage us to fix our servers and build tools in our free time. Thanks. HR and the CTO participate in D&I theater but make no significant systemic changes to create an inclusive culture. Promotion considerations are done by management and Architects, a group of people that is mostly white and mostly male. They call this process unbiased because it's a group of them instead of one person.

Pros
- athena is a great place to work! - athena is in a good place after being in high-growth mode for several years. The addition of new executive leadership over the last few years (2017 - 2020) has been a welcomed change; the impact of new leaders has been positive - stability - work life balance - surrounded by great people
Cons
- Slower growth = less stretch opportunities - Inconsistent messaging and inconsistent execution from leadership (VP level specifically) re: scope requirements to get to next level - Lack of career path once you hit the Senior Manager cohort
