They seem to think laying off highly paid top tier employees is the key to saving the company.
Pros
The people I worked with are great. The benefits and building were nice. My commute was not too bad. The cafeteria was great. Loved the shrimp and grits.
Cons
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.
