Pros: Working at Abridge has been a phenomenal journey of growth and impact. As Lead ML Engineer, I've had the unique opportunity to be at the forefront of AI's transformative role in healthcare. Our mission-driven approach, as articulated by our CEO, Shiv Rao, MD, focuses on giving agency back to clinicians and creating clarity for patients. We strive to make documentation effortless and improve the healthcare journey for everyone involved, aligning perfectly with my passion for patient advocacy on a grand scale. The leadership, including Zack Lipton, PhD, our Chief Technology/Science Officer, is committed to advancing the technology in a responsible and impactful way, while Julia Chapin, our COO, emphasizes the importance of keeping healthcare human. The camaraderie and shared dedication to our core values, such as embracing challenges and continuous improvement, make Abridge not just a workplace, but a hub for innovation and purpose.

Cons: The rigorous pace of innovation at Abridge can be demanding, requiring a blend of agility and resilience. While this dynamic environment fosters rapid growth and development, it is best suited for those who thrive under pressure and are eager to engage with AI's cutting-edge applications in healthcare.

Pros: Abridge has a really good team and is doing very well from a business perspective. I'm glad to be here and very excited to see how we'll grow and evolve from here.

Cons: We're a startup in the midst of a big growth period on all axes: customers, revenue, employees, etc., and this brings plenty of growing pains. It's messy, though we're handling it better than other startups I've worked at.

Pros: A mission you can get behind, strong growth and financials, and mostly good people hired at the lower level.

Cons: New CTO has made the engineering department toxic. He hires his own referrals, and they don’t even go through the interview process. Managers are all either willingly leaving or being laid off. The CTO sends toxic energy and messages.
