Allscripts reviews

One year post merger, it's still chaos. There are little fiefdoms of Allscripts vs. Misys, with much resentment from the legacy Misys folks. Some folks have assimilated nicely and made the best of the merger, but many resent the forced Misys culture which is very formal and fashioned by the Harvard Business Model (translation: it's all about the money, with little regard for the people factor). There is high burn-out because of the dominance of travel positions, and the high percentage of remote-based employees means you may never meet your manager in person. Post merger, Allscripts laid off roughly 10% of different areas, but those lucky enough to be retained are not necessarily the cream of the crop. Lay-off decisions seemed to have been more political - if your manager was part of the corporate inner circle, you kept your job. Meanwhile, some talented folks were let go because their manager didn't have the connections to fight for them.

Poor training on the application for staff in the field and very much a sink or swim mentality after training; no mentoring of new staff post training; have to be in the right place right time or know the right person to move up; and very high turnover rate of new hires within first one to two years with the company because of poor training, support, and burnout.
