Pros

Well-structured, mature office environment. Strong company HR policies are in place to prevent toxic Uber-ish behaviors among management. And I did not witness such behaviors during my stay at Allscripts.

Cons

Large teams and mature large application-system work makes for a lack of dynamism and by necessity, high communication overhead. So if you are a restless, entrepreneurialish soul, you may not find it to your liking. Also, the approach embedded into Allscripts medical systems is clearly biased against low-cost alternative healing methods, and in favor of more profitable conventional medical methods. As an advocate of complementary medicine for many illnesses, this is disappointing to me.

Pros

- the people are great to work with - independence and flexibility with working from home, as needed - solid benefits - 100% vested in 401k match immediately - opportunity for travel - ability to network with many in the healthcare IT industry

Cons

- stagnant wage increases - layoffs occur without warning - too much of the business is moving to India to cut costs; clients complain of off-shore support - lots of small cutbacks that seem trivial to save a dollar. for example, suspending putting basics like plastic cutlery and paper plates in the break room; this was only reinstated after employee complaints. then, no artwork or wall coverings in the new bldg. then pc replacement going from 3 to 4 years. etc.
