With each merge (Misys -> Allscripts -> Eclipsys) it gets worse while the CEO gets rich
Pros
The product team I work with is great and very talented. The benefits are above normal (23 pto days, good 401k match, etc) Free soda in SOME offices, just not mine
Cons
Lets be blunt, I have been w/ the company through the past 2 mergers. With each merger the moral goes down, the excitement level goes down and the will to do a 'great job' goes down. However, with each merger the CEO and his lackeys accumulate more and more wealth. If you enjoy working with off shore teams then this may be a great place for you to work. The new COO (who is trying to run a 6000 employee company like her former 100,000 employee companies) is trying get the onshore/offshore ratio to be 50/50. If you are in development you will find that more then 50% of your peers will be either in India or Ukraine. If you enjoy the fact that the company is making more money then ever yet is cutting its budgets and not allowing exiting positions to be back filled this may be a great company for you. If you enjoy the idea that each building/team has to adhere to different rules this may be the place for you. If you enjoy working on legacy software (many of the products are 15+ years old) with no ability to make any significant technology improvements this may be the place for you. If you enjoy working for a 'sales company' who just happens to make software, not a 'software company' with a sales force this may be the place for you. Working for a sales company means that if a sales person can sell the feature you MUST build it... PERIOD if you enjoy working for technology company that does not have a CIO/CTO then this may be the place for you.
