Pros

My review is for epocrates / athenahealth sf. Nice Offices: The new SF office is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately it feels empty and I wonder who will occupy it next. Thorough on boarding: The onboarding of new employees was second to none. I was so excited and full of energy starting into my job. Good educational opportunities: athena truly values teaching and learning as a culture. There's countless educational opportunities. Take advantage of them. The other offices: Based on my experience I cannot recommend the local office but if you're passionate about healthcare IT then I would recommend looking at the other offices.

Cons

My review is for epocrates / athenahealth sf. Unclear vision: Wasted energy on ever changing visions without addressing the very real issues of existing core businesses. Hire and fire culture: In my short time I could count the number of senior leaders getting axed on two hands. Mediocre benefits: The benefits were not bad but not good either. There were no stock options and the health insurance options were disappointing.
