Pros

* The pay is good for developers (100k --> 115K after 1 year, plus 50k in stocks) * The work is interesting and feels meaningful (improving health care software) * My coworkers are all decent people who are very smart * My immediate managers don't get in my way too much and give me plenty of autonomy * The health insurance is fantastic and absurdly cheap * Good WLB (as a developer, I never work more than 42 hours/week)

Cons

* Upper management is terrible (they deliberately ignored requests from employees about a meaningful DEI committee and offered a completely tone-deaf "alternative" to WFH/remote work that is intended to eliminate it) * 401(k) matching is not great (50% up to 6%? Pretty sad honestly) * Maintaining culture for the sake of culture, often to its own impediment

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
