Pros

Children's is a rapidly growing institution and that growth is exciting to watch. It is also rewarding working for a non-profit with a worthy cause, caring for sick children. Children's is a high profile hospital in Dallas and will look good on your resume. It is also the best children's hospital in Dallas and it is good working for the best.

Cons

Unfortunately it is not always a pleasant place to work. Departments do not cooperate as they should and can be actively hostile to each other. Even within a department, there is a lot of cliquishness and backstabbing. Unprofessional behavior by employees will frequently go unnoticed if it is not causing problems for that employee's managers. If you are not in a clinical position, resources for professional development and training are very limited except for a select few favored employees. Children's is also one of the least family-friendly places I have ever worked.

Pros

Great mission Good teamwork within own team

Cons

Management only wants “yes” people in leadership roles. They have lots of very good qualified Epic analysts to be considered for internal promotions. Yet instead they are passed over for people who know nothing about the software. Management tries to talk about how employees can work from home but in reality there are a ton of rules so that it isn’t used as much as it could be. For example, can’t wfh two days in a row. Must always have a team member on site (so if a teammate takes a day off, you might have to come onsite for them), if you take a day off one week, you forfeit a wfh day, etc. They don’t value that good analysts are hard to find. When they leave, you can’t simply replace them by someone with no epic background. A good analyst is more than getting an epic certification.

Nepotism gone rampant

Pros

Great if you're in with the right people.

Cons

It's not what you know, but who you know, or more precisely, who you're related to. There has been an exodus of talent due to management making mind boggling decisions. Massive waste of money on contractors with zero experience in the field.
