Pros: The Mission: So fulfilling. We are changing clinicians' lives every day and also improving the clinician-patient interaction. The testimonials we see bring me to tears. The Product: Constantly evolving and expanding in every direction. We are putting our users (clinicians) first and not just pandering to our buyers (hospital administrators), a dilemma I've seen my other health tech employers completely fail on. As a product-minded engineer, it's also great to work on a product that's seeing wide adoption. The Culture: This is my 5th health tech company in ~6 years, and those companies have ranged from super small startups to larger companies that were already acquired. But I think Abridge's culture and team are unique. There is transparency from the top about our strategy and position. Our executive team isn't filled with tech influencers and investors, but actual practicing physicians and academics on the cutting edge of ML research. There is a fluency of teamwork that means you can just get stuff done. Everyone is approachable and nice. It's a truly cohesive team. The Work: We're in a very nascent and competitive space, so the work is very fast-paced. Nevertheless, work-life balance is actually good. There are definitely deadlines when I need to push, but I've never felt weird about taking PTO or signing off at the end of the day. The work is also sooo interesting. So many problems to solve, and so many things to learn about from my brilliant coworkers. I love going to work every day.

Cons: Most roles are hybrid in SF or NYC, so not great if you're looking for remote. We just expanded the NYC office though! And going in has honestly been very productive for me. Wish they had more surrogacy benefits, but I hear HR is considering it.

Pros: Smart, empathetic, and driven team. Fast-paced and team-oriented work environment.

Cons: Everything has been better than expected so far.

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.
