athenahealth Reviews

Pros

The work is rewarding and I've never worked at a place that was so inclusive. athenahealth is a leader when it comes to UX in healthcare. Strong user involvement is encouraged and validation gives an opportunity to refine a workflow in ways that project success is more frequently realized. There's a supportive UX leadership team that continues to help the organization evolve.

Cons

Like many companies reassessing their organizations after COVID, athena is embracing a hybrid structure. Historically, athena has been able to create a strong, devoted, and loyal culture on site. It is harder to get to know people when you typically only interact with them during virtual meetings or through asynchronous communication.

Pros

Love working in the healthcare industry

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

I've had a lot of success throughout my career but I've never been happier with any other employer as I am now. I can see myself retiring for this company and I am motivated to come in everyday and do my very best for the company and our clients. athena is very flexible and treats employees like humans. I'm able to be open and share ideas without fear of judgement or retaliation. It is a very welcoming environment and people really care. It is a great place for people who want to grow and make a difference.

Cons

It is always very busy with meetings and lunch and learns etc. As is the case for any growing company, it can be stressful as everyone pushes to get things done. It is manageable but challenging as well.

Pros

Extremely nice and friendly environment where if you have a question, everyone is there and willing to help you out! The hours are great and you can work overtime as well! You can even work from home and be just as productive in workflow, it's extremely helpful during the winter months where the roads are barely drivable. I feel valid working here, I feel like my say matters and I am actually treated as a human being working here. I wouldn't work anywhere else!

Cons

I honestly can't think of any!!!

Pros

The culture supports and promotes individual input and contribution. You have the ability to directly influence your work and how things are done. There is a lot of diversity (complexity) in the work so it's really hard to get bored. There are so many amazing employees. I've met some of my best friends here.

Cons

I don't see this as a con, but if you are not someone who is looking to be challenged and to have to apply critical thinking every day this may not be the place for you. Any role at athenahealth will challenge you to grow and develop.

Pros

- Pay is good - WLB is there - Good culture - For the most part, friendly people - I can see myself moving internally

Cons

- Lack of training, felt like there was only a month of shadowing and then was left to do my own thing - Lack of collaboration with team members - Some difficult personalities - Micro-managing, bombarded with issues and tasks right when I sign and takes away from my ability to reflect on what I need to do

Pros

Company has a great business model and CEO makes solid decisions with the employees in mind. Opportunities to learn are available to all in different formats.

Cons

DE &I efforts do not make it down to the department or team level. There is too much favoritism same people always get tapped for special projects. Workload keeps you from being able to take advantage of the learning opportunities. People promoted all the time without a true process against the role competencies and depends on who you work for. COO is totally out of touch and disconnected he only cares about numbers and not the people.

Pros

Work life balance Unlimited pto

Cons

Stressful Requires travel Hard to get promoted

Pros

Very Supportive nice place to work

Cons

None that I can really think of

Pros

generous has integrity considerate of employee growth and satisfaction as well as work/life balance

Cons

perhaps they go a bit overboard with community spirit?
