Flatiron Health reviews about "favoritism"

- Increasingly bleak business outlook, multiple rounds of layoffs. It was good that they got rid of some directors / leadership who weren't doing much, but they also gutted teams and lost great talent. - Also bleeding talent and institutional knowledge because of attrition. - Despite layoffs, seemingly lower standards to get hired into some teams (that are growing but hiring only in Raleigh). - Constant reorgs over last 2 years made it really difficult to focus on work. Leadership didn't appreciate negative impacts; kept hiring people to reorg over and over again. - Increasing lack of trust in leadership. - On some teams, backstabbing and favoritism (but overall people are kind)

* Some departments can be very cliquey, unapproachable, and secretive. Office politics and favoritism run rampant. * People are there one day and disappear the next which adds a level of fear for job security. * If you aren't putting in 12 hour days or try to leave at a reasonable hour people will think you aren't "going above and beyond." Not the most sustainable environment if you have a family. There is a big drinking culture which makes you feel like you need to stay even later to put in face in order to be a part of the team. * Like some others have mentioned, Ivy pedigree is given more clout than it should and those without it can feel looked down upon. * It's common for managers to have no training or experience which can have a really negative impact. Training shouldn't be an option or afterthought but a prerequisite. * More talk and planning than action in a lot of areas

- Systemic two-faced culture, with a helping of "lying to your face, and doubling down no matter the evidence presented to refute the lie" - Claims to care about employees, but never demonstrates how much they care, while undermining employee well-being at every turn - HR at Flatiron will convince you that the most caustic HR department is superb; avoid any interactions with them and have an attorney on retainer - Insecure management that lacks professionalism, blames others for their own failings, cannot stand fair criticism, and tends to verbally assail employees - Despite the other reviews, a non-negligible amount of coworkers are unpleasant; however, there are some gems... at least until they leave - Favoritism is a rampant issue, and being outside a manager's "circle of friends" is dubious at best; prepare for schoolyard antics - Projection is de rigueur, a phenomenon that would keep the most experienced psychologist transfixed in disbelief for years to come - An overall company trajectory that calls into question the future of the company, and layoffs (silent or overt) are a consistent concern - Oodles of attrition with spectacular consistency the past several years, leading to institutional amnesia - Pervasive amnesia among employees that conveniently absolves them of any responsibility, or enables them to transfer blame to another

- Pretend to be "pro mental health," but in reality they could care less - Two-faced management - Expect favoritism to be common - HR is shady... do NOT trust them - Management will happily blame you for things that are not your fault (and actually THEIR fault) to save face - Profits over people... "oopsie, we're restructuring again for the 1,000,000th time bc bizness, looks like there's gonna be layoffs..."
