Pros

If Job security is a big thing for you, this is the place to be. This company isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and the market for hospital software isn't going anywhere either.

Cons

Horrible salary compared to similar positions at competing companies. They underpay by a lot. Management tends to promote and hire people who, while having a college degree, they still make you question whether or not they actually earned that college degree (doesn't apply in all cases, there are exceptions here, but they usually end up leaving the company for a much better salary). Ever see the movie Office Space? If you haven't, rent it. This will show you what it is like to work for Meditech. Other than what is mentioned above, the work environment is at least decent. People are mostly friendly and generally fun to be around (when they aren't annoying you with their lack of any knowledge).

Pros

MEDITECH is surviving, which wasn't a certainty ten years ago. Considering the low starting salaries for greater Boston, the company tends to be less selective in who they hire compared to other employers. Even with the effect that AI is having on tech hiring.

Cons

The market was MEDITECH's to lose, and they lost it. Without HCA as a customer MEDITECH would be finished. Considerations for job applicants such as inclusiveness and work/life balance are largely irrelevant, as the company's long-term prospects for success are doubtful. MaaS subscriptions don't bring in enough money to make up for the business that was lost to market leader Epic Systems. I am a MEDITECH shareholder, so I see the financial reports. Although I'm pleased that dividends continue to be paid, they are draining the company of badly needed cash to fund a turnaround.
