Expect Big Company Treatment

Pros

Good benefits and competitive salary. Employees are friendly and there is a team atmosphere.

Cons

Work life balance is seriously skewed, especially for support staff. Management has high expectations for 24 hour access to employees. Expect to be punished if you gain expertise in any of the products -- you'll have to carry the load for the rest of the team. The executive level is out of touch with the reality of how the products work and the effects of their decisions on the clients and employees. Processes are set up to avoid clients ever talking to the executive level. The company goal is only to drive high profits to get the stock price up. Product quality is not a priority. Front line management has no power to change even the most ridiculous policies. Expect to be cannon fodder.

Pros

I joined this company with great expectations and now that I have joined, there is nothing significant to praise it. Some people are smart, some are overwhelmingly obnoxious which kind of balances out each other. Benefits is the only thing I could think worth putting it here.

Cons

An honest piece of advice to people who have been offered a position at Allscripts. Join here only if you are absolutely sure you want to ruin your career and waste your time. Their salary is not competitive at all. You are worth more than they offer, please consider other job offers. I was assigned to a Manager who had so many people working under him that I was totally lost. No sense of direction whatsoever!! Training is non existent and what ever training they offer is absolutely worthless. Their software is an absolute mess. I am pretty sure a bunch of college graduates can write much better and efficient code than what they have right now. For those who have doubts, please check the reviews here and at their Facebook page. They have just survived because of mergers and acquisitions. Promotions and raise???? This is an outright joke here. You have been warned! Steer away. Again this is an honest critical review of Allscripts as of now. Nothing has been made up.

Sense of direction and purpose is lacking.

Pros

Overall this is a nice office to work in. It is a very easy going crowd of people and management is not completely distanced from the workers they manage. 1. Good Benefits for individuals and families. 2. Relaxed working environment with casual business attire. 3. Options to work remotely are available. 4. Yearly salary increases for good work.

Cons

While in the Burlington office things are fairly easy going direction from upper management from the main offices conflict with career growth, job focus and just over all work/life balance. Over the past few years there is a decreasing pool of talent and lack of bodies to replace them. This has increased workloads and decreased resolution times on projects. 1. Increases in moving jobs outside of the country. 2. Non-existent guidance from HR for career growth. 3. Work Life Balance has changed to encourage/require more overtime for little to no compensation.
