Pros

Nothing worth mentioning. You soon realize the fancy buildings are more for customer tours and UGMs rather than for the employees. The food is somehow decent and cheap. But that becomes a necessity since the office in the middle of nowhere with not enough restaurants to handle the capacity.

Cons

Heavy koolaid drinkers. They refuse to believe anyone else can be smarter than them. Use dumb metrics to rank employees those reports themselves are bug ridden. TLs generally lord their special powers over employees. They have no organization that leads to a lot of confusion. Several TLs including my own abused the above metrics to show themselves as better than others. This only helps them and is harmful to the company in the long run. Huge enormous gigantic technical debt. As technology catches up to the Healthcare domain faster they will struggle to keep up.

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
