Pros

Great people, work from home opportunities once you've been there a year on many teams, lots of community outreach volunteer opportunities

Cons

- Executive management is terrible. They only care about the money in their pockets and the investors. They don't care about the employees, which was shown by how often I saw layoffs in my time there. - They had been crashing financially for a couple of years, and 2020 saw the worst of it with 5% of the entire workforce laid off and all team meetings, team lunches, conferences, & travel were cut completely. (This all happened before the COVID-19 outbreak, so while travel would eventually be halted because of that, Allscripts cut it before that was an issue.) - Lots of non-answers from the CEO, CFO, etc. when asked questions about the company's future. Executives aren't forthcoming. - The products are outdated and many clients actively dislike them, but keep using them because it's incredibly expensive and difficult to dismantle these types of systems and implement different ones. I know several health care workers (including doctors of my own) that use Allscripts products and hate them. - Stock prices are on a continual downturn. - Pay is low for the industry. - Benefits are TERRIBLE. Allscripts should be ashamed for being a healthcare company that offers such lousy benefits to its employees. - With the most recent layoffs, they got rid of many people who had a long history of product knowledge, people who had been there 20, 25, 30 years, and kept on people they hired just out of school that they can lowball in terms of salary.

Pros

Allscripts does a good job of screening and hiring very competent skilled professionals. The hiring process is rigorous. I appreciate the opportunities I had at Allscripts but it's clear (even to a line worker) the company needs a great deal of restructuring.

Cons

The benefit package is a bit anemic, although internally touted as very good. The insurance benefit has progressively gotten much more expensive and fewer benefits over the years, which might be expected but disappointing for a healthcare company. They have consistent layoffs with poor severance packages. Most disappointing of all is that their value statement and imperatives make no mention of their most important asset - their people. They recently had a large layoff and reduced the salaries of those left by 15%.
