      Pros

      The only positive thing about my time at this company were the individual contributors I met on my team. There is so much talent, but sadly it's being wasted due to toxic and harmful management practices.

      Cons

      Please know I NEVER write online reviews...but if my review can stop ONE person from accepting a job offer here, then I consider this a success. There isn't enough space in this box to detail how horrible the leadership is at this company. There is a revolving door of new hires due to constant lay offs. Management has no strategy for acquisitions and over reaches in just gobbling up technology with no plan to integrate the product or its people. They will literally hire a slew of people, spend countless hours and money training them, only to lay them off in a year. There is zero company culture and morale is in the toilet. You are expected to be "on" during PTO. Often times employees who have no business being promoted to a manager, get promoted because leadership is too lazy to find an actual appropriate fit. There is no clear pathway for a hardworking employee to grow in their career and identify how to move upward. HR is stereo-typically on the side of the corporation and not the individual employee, but oh baby is it 100 times worse here. I had coworkers get their pay slashed in half by HR one day and then have HR praise how awesome leadership was to us in a meeting the next. Disgusting. Senior leaders in my group were more concerned about how long an employee took for lunch rather than actual output. Most of the leadership was only concerned about themselves. I will say the people that survive at Allscripts long term are in survival mode and have gotten very good at pointing fingers, backstabbing, or just being plain complacent about all the awful things they see going on around them. I'm begging you-if you are on this site reading reviews like I did before I accepted a job offer-please take this one seriously. Hopefully you will avoid some pretty miserable years.

      Be Very Careful

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, great co-workers, interesting work in a variety of places, lots of travel.

      Cons

      Not a very good work/life balance in this position. Also very little opportunity for advancement and some blatant favoritism on the part of managers. Upper management is deaf and overall reactive instead of proactive. People were laid off unexpectedly with no consideration of performance, leaving behind the less competent.

      An unfortunate outcome from an amazing opportunity

      Pros

      Some of the best coworkers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Snacks and beverages provided. Casual dress. Semi-flexible work hours. Typically got to work with the latest-and-greatest tech. An incredibly rare opportunity to build a brand-new product that could impact millions of patients and medical professionals. Electric vehicle charging in several parking spots.

      Cons

      Management pushing their subordinates to work 70 hour weeks to try to meet artificial and unrealistic deadlines resulting from poor planning and management making commitments to the board that have no basis in reality while ignoring feedback from their subordinates saying that such commitments are unrealistic. Simultaneously bragging about working for a billion dollar company while cutting promised bonuses and being unwilling to pay competitive salaries for some much-needed experienced workers. Making a huge show of gathering feedback from employees, promising on multiple occasions to take such feedback seriously and provide a summary to all employees, then consistently both ignoring that feedback and failing to provide it to the employees. On more than one occasion it was (accidentally?) made clear by management that they had no intention of listening to employee feedback, they just wanted the employees to believe that management was considering their feedback. A very suspicious case of corporate reorganization, which included the elimination of the positions of several valuable and talented employees. Those same employees were the most outspoken in their criticisms against poor management decisions. Those same employees were probably the best chance the company had at preventing this effort from becoming an even bigger failure. Lies are not uncommon from management.
