Allscripts reviews

Short sighted decisions and not taking care of employees caused a large chunk of our group to look for other opportunities. Then the reward for not jumping ship is getting laid off. That is after taking on extra work for the people who got out before the ship sank. They blamed the cuts on Covid-19 even though our group’s revenue was way up due to more demand for our patient engagement products. Most of my co-workers couldn’t believe they let several people in our group go. The rest who weren’t laid off got 15% or more salary cuts and their raise deferred for 1 year. This is after we were told our group was safe from cuts because of how profitable we were. I do not recommend you work for Allscripts. There are better places that care more about the people who work there. I have several interviews lined up and will make sure to recruit heavily from the talent left. I am sure they are eager to leave before becoming the next target.

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.
