InterSystems Employee Perspectives
What makes you feel supported and valued at InterSystems on a day-to-day basis?
I have spent my entire career at InterSystems in a number of different roles. The company has always given me the opportunity to grow within my roles and from one role to the next, which is amazing because I’m someone who gets bored pretty easily, and that just hasn’t happened.
The organization has grown significantly since I first started, but it still has that family feel without rigid structures so I feel welcome to go into anybody’s office for a quick chat, whether that’s my direct manager or someone three levels up.
We work with highly complex products and use cases in healthcare. I think it can be very scary to take on any type of additional responsibility, but I have never felt that way. InterSystems has always created space for me to take on more without the fear of failure. I know I’m supported even when I make mistakes, and that’s a beautiful and empowering feeling.
How does your team prevent burnout while still delivering meaningful work?
This may sound too simple, but they’re having fun. I truly believe in finding a job that fuels your passion. In healthcare specifically that’s easy I think because we can all relate, since we’re all patients and/or caretakers.
I also make sure to spend time getting to know each employee and spend a few minutes in every meeting asking about their families, pets or hobbies. Whatever I know is important to them. If they have a personal emergency, that comes first, work will still be here tomorrow and we build teams that guarantee you’re covered by your teammates.
What’s one way InterSystems shows appreciation that genuinely resonates with employees?
The whole company knows that people need a balance. So while we feel appreciated at work, InterSystems makes sure to create ways to bond outside of work, for example, with a ski day or family day where your family is welcome to come along. I think it’s very important to acknowledge people’s lives and what’s important to them and celebrate that.
Beyond events, there’s also a genuine culture of recognition in day-to-day work. Leaders are accessible, quick to say thank you and intentional about highlighting team wins, whether it’s a product milestone, a successful customer launch or someone going above and beyond to support a colleague. That consistent acknowledgment, paired with flexibility and trust, makes you feel valued not just for the work you produce, but for who you are as a person.
