Working at HealthFirst in New York City, NY: 9 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in New York City, NY Area

"There are nice people working at the company. There is a shared optimism that makes impossible work possible. Easy to make friends. Analytics direction comes from inexperienced managers who only care about how smart they look. Priorities constantly change like a consulting company. Reorganize the analysts into their business units so they can work on legitimate projects. The CAO recycles ideas with outdated consultant jargon but analysts want impactful work. The CAO and his club should support business analytics and not create priorities based on their resumes. BY THE WAY HF DELETES GLASSDOOR REVIEWS!!!"

"make sure your upper management is not this female who sits on 16th floor."

What don't you like about working at HealthFirst?

"the upper management does not understand what we do and does not make any effort to stand on our side. managers are not very helpful in getting our voices heard and basically everyone is afraid of the upper management to make a change of new rules this one upper management is forcing all of us to do. this company is going down. There are so many dissatisfactions with members and employees."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"listen to the lower tier of the employees. we are the one out on the field, we are experiencing the issues - noone is there to help us and voice our needs. the new rules from the upper management is inefficient, unproductive, and unreasonable. There is no postiives coming out of it, however, noone stood up and object for us. If you want to compare us to the society, we are the poors from all the way below and they are all the way up there. they will never understand our day in and day out because they never experience it."
