Allscripts reviews

Difficulty to advance/promote from your current position due to bureaucracy/red tape. Atmosphere can sometimes be click-ish, if you work in certain departments. I have not experienced this in the support department, but have definitely noticed it elsewhere. Share buildings with another Allscripts company, "Avenel". Avenel side tends to disassociate from FollowMyHealth side. This doesn't necessarily create much tension or anything, just some occasional unwelcome feelings at times. Lastly, watching several other people with zero experience in I.T., no degree, and younger than you (which shouldn't matter), get paid more than you when they share the same duties, is rather frustrating. Leaves you wondering what you did to not be on a lower level than somebody with no experience or education.

Companies shouldn't require candidates from demonstrating their skills to get a job with an un-paid real-world project. If necessary, it is best to provide deliverable requirements clearly, concisely and timely. Hiring managers should be respectful of a candidate's time and effort. Hearing complaints about HR and other internal squabbles is a turn-off. Any touch with people outside the company is a reflection of yourself, your department and your company.
