Don't let the recruiters tell you that unflattering posts on this site are merely disgruntled former employees who were ill-fitted to the company. If you can, talk to a former employee before accepting any type of job here. If you do accept, be prepared to throw out anything you think you know about how the business world is supposed to work. Interactions with most management define the term "gaslighting".
Forward-thinking is negligible where it counts. Thousands of dollars are spent on decorating the home office, complete with supposed "art" by a "famous" graffiti artist and fittings from Ikea, while the company makes the same poor business-decision mistakes, over and over and over. They are late to the party in the Electronic Healthcare field and though certain functionality is genius, points of view and processes are too antiquated for the company to advance.
Beginning with the very top tier of the company, managers unashamedly assign opportunity to the favorite of the month, micromanaging all others with no respect for the most experienced of employees. In all fairness, management are reminded regularly and publicly that their jobs are in jeopardy if they do not play along with the nonsensical dictates by the mercurial CEO. As they say, "stuff" rolls downhill.
Any path for career advancement is limited, and subject to being eliminated at any moment. Employees are overworked by those who have with no knowledge of their job responsibilities and no motivation to learn. Those who dare question their managers are seen as combative, even when management direction ill-advised and incorrect. Work-life balance is non-existent and even if one's position is not compensated for "on-call" duties, 24/7 on-call responsibility is routinely required.
Lastly, this company misleads their customers. There is no QA of the product, and an inordinate amount of time is spent resolving problems after fixes are deployed to all customer hospital sites, often leading to patient safety issues. This is a company that simply does not see a problem with using the money existing customers pay for support, to develop the next new thing. Existing customer support has been cut to bare-bones, and is provided by the few exhausted, burned-out professionals who work under the poor circumstances because THEY care about the servicemen and women and our country's veterans.
