Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
New leadership team is transparent and has earned the respect of the organization through delivering on its promises. The company is now all about action and accountability and welcome change from prior years
Cons
Very few. We are driving hard and fast, so some work life balance issues, but one has the flexibility to manage that on their own

Pros
Dogs in the Office Some Great People to work with Travel
Cons
athenahealth makes themselves attractive to recent college grads in their sales department with the front of a sparkling culture, great work/life balance, chance for promotion, and a livable wage. This is all a FRONT. The culture can be extremely toxic with people talking down to you or trying to intimidate you, lying to your face about promotions, making you put in more than the average 40 hours/week and then cutting it from your timecard without saying a word to you, management playing favoritism in a very awkward way that is unprofessional, not answering employee questions without reading off of a script, and throwing you into more useless meetings than you even have time for. They have even put a complete hold to their claim to fame, which is athenaGives (giving our EMR to non-profit clinics in need) and have not been transparent with practices who have been on a waitlist for months. This entire company feels like a cult, not a community. Don't fall into their trap.

Pros
It might vary by division, but overall the work/life balance is excellent. My manager, division, and colleagues are understanding about family commitments and it is easy to work from home whenever I need to. 3-month maternity leave policy is a plus, and the lactation rooms in the office are great. There is also an athenaParents group that is active and helpful. I don't use it myself, but there is a Bright Horizons daycare sharing our campus, and it is very convenient for many employees. I also enjoy coming to work every day to see colleagues and be in this space. It's an energetic environment, there are dogs everywhere, and the atmosphere feels fun and casual (but everyone still works hard!). Employees are social and engaged. It's a place where you can form true friendships with colleagues.
Cons
There has been a lot of turnover in recent years, including at the executive level. It's led to some frustrations and confusion, but I really believe we are past it now. We're on the right track and I feel optimistic about being here long term. Depending on the division, it can be hard to get promoted, and the same standards are not always applied across the company.

Pros
The people are the biggest pro. I am so lucky to work with incredibly smart and hard working colleagues! With this great group comes a lot of networking opportunities internally and the chance to learn new skills and even move into a new role when there is an opening. I have also had great support from my manager during my time here to network and explore both growth within my team and elsewhere in athena. I would also note that my work life balance is great. Though I work hard, and so does my team, I am able to be flexible with my schedule when needed which is great. I have a seen a shift towards consistent leadership and shared values in the company, and am really eager to see the continued growth and development not only of the company as a whole but of my colleagues and friends at athena!
Cons
There has been a lot of change over the past two years, but the company is certainly stabilizing a lot and people seem optimistic. It will be important over the coming months to continue this stability in leadership.
