Ventajas
Some of best humans I’ve ever gotten the chance to work with. Seriously, a mission-oriented company like Grand Rounds is able to attract some really good talent. More than good, I’d say the bulk of the company is made up of really kind folks. However, slowly but surely, those folks have been leaving and that is due to major leadership and culture issues.
Desventajas
Patients do not really come first at Grand Rounds. Grand Rounds is 100% sales driven which means teams like product, engineering, and marketing operate at the whim of the ever-growing, ever-dominant sales team. Teams are constantly given top-down directives and so many at the company don’t feel supported by their managers. Good managers are hard to come by at Grand Rounds and that is sad, because there are some really strong ICs not being recognized for all that they do and the weight they carry. I’ve never worked in a more political environment - you don’t win based on merits at Grand Rounds - it’s a political game and the leaders who remain at the company have worked hard to remain in the CEO’s “inner circle.” Culture will ultimately kill the company. Bullying, political games, and non-inclusiveness are turning the company toxic.
