New ownership and Management with corporate offerings & family atmosphere
|
|
In my long tenure with Allen we have had lots of ups and downs as a company with ever changing technology. Lots of great and not so great leaders have come and gone over the years.
One thing is consistent and that is the love of our customers as we have several clients for 10+ yrs and several employees on our staff with 10, 15, 20+ years of experience.
We all have leadership roles within our individual jobs to be successful.
Management try's to be flexible within reason to listen and try new things to continue to grow the company.
Communication has improved within the company greatly.
We have now had for the last year company matching 401K which is a positive change.
Health, Dental, Vision, Life ins., Long & Short term disability are all offered as a full-time employee.
|
Being a small company we often have to wear many hats and evolve in our jobs, which can be a Pro, but for some people that aren't flexible it can be a Con.
Tasks can change in a moments notice and you must be flexible to adapt.

Great People, Great Culture, Great Vision
|
|
Allen has come a long way just within the past few years alone. When I first started at this company, there was a lot of management issues and this created a lot of silos within the team. The climate was extremely negative and the company was very reactive in handling problems.
Over the past 4 years Allen has made huge strides in improving the company climate by bringing in great leadership who strive to inspire the team. This has created open communication and teamwork across the various departments. The company has moved to a more proactive approach with potential problems. They have striven to improve processes which has helped immensely with the small company expectation of wearing many hats. The culture is one of positivity!
And not to mention that the Allen team is absolutely amazing! Such a great crew of people to work with!
|
For some it would be a con that Allen is a lean company that expects employees to wear many hats. Especially since there has been a setback in many process improvements and automation made over the past few years based upon some board level decisions. But this “con” is expected to be temporary. For me, the opportunity to wear many hats has been a great challenge which has allowed me to grow in ways I wouldn’t have in a larger company.

My only advice would be to always find ways to improve efficiencies within teams/jobs as the lean environment can be hard to juggle at times especially when the company sacrifices process automation. But overall, the Senior leadership team does a great job and should be proud of just how far Allen has come the past few years!! Can’t wait to see the next few years!

Figure out how to market and sell the product. Don't ship products until they are ready and don't drop a product as soon as it is mature. Figure out a direction. Invest in your technology platform.

Great Company to learn, grow and make a diifference
|
|
Full of really smart, competitive and passionate people who are experts in their fields. The flexible schedules / work from home options really add to the work life balance. As with any start up, employees are not pigeon-holed into one set roles/responsibilities but instead expected to take on a wide range of responsibilities and often have to find their own network of individuals within the company to partner with to get things done.
I suspect many people would find this as a Con, but being an enthusiastic professional coming and worked in big and small companies, I find this very liberating. Everyone is moving very fast and trying to capture a big piece of a quickly emerging market. Yes, there are many competing visions of what the company 'should' become. But again, I find this exciting and feel like I too have the ability to influence the direction of the company too
This is a great place to work for those who are confident in their ideas and willing to fight for what they believe is the right way to do things. This is not the company for those who would rather come to work every day knowing exactly what you are expected to do and slowly work their way up the corporate ladder.
If you are ready to learn and put in efforts this company will definitely give you the platform. Senior Managers and managers are talented and are helping if you want to learn and try different things. I have worked on many important stuff here and have been always appreciated for my work. I can say in the past couple of years the company has improved and its growing.
Again this is not the place where you would like to stick to one thing and do that it’s a place for passionate people who actually want to make a difference.

Communication between the groups was lagging but they are Improving.

Forward Thinking, Exciting Company
|
|
I have worked for Allen Technologies for a number of years and enjoy the excitement as we continually bring new technology and features to healthcare. What is particularly satisfying is working year after year with so many forward-thinking customers who have been our partners and continue to express their faith in us by renewing their contracts term after term. We have many customers who have been healthcare’s early technology adopters, allowing us to deploy the healthcare industry’s first interactive television system and now, over three decades later are deploying we are our Smart TV System E3 for these same customers.
No company can serve healthcare without dedicated and technology-savvy staff and Allen has always had exceptional staff working to develop the next great patient app, supporting existing platforms, helping customers deploy and always holding to the standard that the “customer is the most important person at Allen”. Kudos to the staff at Allen for they are the reason we have such close and long term relationships with our customers.
|
At times I have seen upper management express frustration with some staff who have not performed their duties up to standards that would best serve our customers. I have read with dismay some of the posts in Glassdoor by some of these employees after they have moved on. Not being part of upper management I have had the opportunity to observe and see both sides As I read these posts what immediately comes to mind is that there is always another side to the story.

Great company, product & people
|
|
I have been working with Allen Technologies for several years, and have watched the evolution in product, vision and leadership over that time. I see the other comments here, but my personal perspective is that the personnel changes that have been made within the company have only made it stronger. The management team leading the various divisions is exceptional both in technology and in health care experience. Clients love them. And the E3 product suite is right on target for what hospitals are seeking to improve their outcomes. It's very exciting to be a part of executing a vision that I feel really does make a difference in people's lives and their health. I also like that the company has a long history in what is a very challenging industry, health care, but it functions with a culture and nimbleness of a start up.
|
Not really a con, but will say that this is not a place for someone who wants all the infrastructure of a large enterprise organization. If you are looking for a big-company environment with lots of team members to delegate your work to, this is probably not a good fit for you. It is a very lean operation, which is part of what's made it so competitive and successful in the market. The people who are successful here are ones who are very creative, resourceful, collaborative, ready to roll up their sleeves and love wearing a lot of hats and that includes the senior managers.

Really not too much to add here
Friday breakfasts, snacks, coffee, and the occasional on-site lunch brought in were nice.
|
Read the other reviews - it's all true.
No bonus plan
No equity plan
No profit sharing plan
No telecommuting plan
No plan of any kind, in general
Management by intimidation. If you weren't a favorite of upper management, you weren't regarded at all. Nepotism runs strong here.
CEO has the situational maturity of a typical juvenile teenager.
It amazes me that Greyrock continues to let him mismanage the company.

Dysfunctional company with inept management
|
|
The only good thing to be said about the experience is that I lived through the abuse, lack of ethical behavior by management and no longer work there. Worst experience of my career.
|
Corporate culture of management through bullying, including name calling by a CEO who throws things (briefcase) and slams doors to be certain that all employees fear him. No realistic plan for growing the company or improving the product mix. Most ideas are knee-jerk reactions to competitors offerings instead of well thought out progressive improvements. Employees talk behind management's backs and try to stay below the radar because there is never rhyme or reason to outbursts from management. Stress levels are through the roof and confusion reigns supreme. Avoid this company at all costs.

Terrible, just terrible
|
|
The technology has potential and some of the rank and file are very talented
|
Abusive CEO that refuses to learn anything about the product he claims to support and treats his employees like an abusive father, ranting and screaming when he does not get his way. Thinks that changing the product name will somehow improve it. Founder of the company lives in his own little world where everything is going fine. Refusal to honor contracts if the client is not one of the "magic" ones. Benefits are terrible and just getting worse.

Personal likes and dislikes have no place in in the employee evaluation process. Take care of your clients, they pay your paycheck. Stand up to the abusive CEO. Understand that employees have families and at least pretend to care. Your field people are your foundation. Give them some respect. To the CEO: learn the tech you are trying to claim to care about. Stop screwing your tech partners, they will sue you as you have learned the hard way.
