Pros

High compensation (especially considering the cost of living in Madison), very intelligent colleagues, beautiful campus, great benefits, good and cheap food. Everyone is very helpful, willing to take time to help you with just about anything. You can pretty much set your own hours. Rewarding work in a field that directly affects millions of people.

Cons

You will likely work mainly with very archaic technology (VB 6 and M/Cache). Definitely more of a "career" place than a stepping stone for more opportunities, though this could be a pro to some. I often felt I was doing a lot more maintenance of old code than I'd like, as opposed to creating new stuff, but your mileage will vary. Lots of institutional knowledge. It takes a while to get going, but once you do

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
