Pros

1. Job security - When it comes to job security you really can't get too much more secure in the business world than a medical software company these days. 2. Respect for work/life balance - If you're a woman planning on having a family someday Meditech definitely is a great place to be. They will let you take 3 months maternity leave and add any built up sick time to that. There's also a decent amount of respect for goings on outside of work. It can vary depending on your group though and which supervisor you're under. 3. Paid holidays - You get 12 paid holidays a year, and none of them are "floating." I've always thought that was cheap of companies to do to employees so its nice you don't have to choose between holidays. 4. Young company - If you're fresh out of college or in your 20's it can be nice to work in a company with other younger people too. There's plenty of that at Meditech. They hire big right out of college, but there's a lot of turnover once people hit 1-3 years so most of those hires leave after a few years.

Cons

1. Salary - Salaries at Meditech are known in the industry for not being very good. You can make more money working at a hospital or as a consultant, or at another software company. 2. Can be a strange place to work - Its a software company so this can kind of be expected but its definitely still a con. 3. Upper management is stuck in their ways - The higher-ups all firmly believe that whatever they did to get them to being the successful company they are today is what they should stick to. However it would be really refreshing to see them adopt a more new age approach to running things, and even better if they infused some younger blood into upper management to get fresh ideas in there. 4. No 401k - They do have profit sharing, but it takes 6 years to be fully vested and get all that money. 5. Stingy with some company resources - From office supplies to the 1980's phones it seems the company doesn't invest all that much of its resources in things that you use and rely on every day. The network goes down all the time too...But then again they put on a yearly 2 day company picnic that I've heard costs them a million dollars. Doesn't seem to make sense to me. 6. Lack of privacy - Open email system and low cube walls mean whatever you do is right out there for others to read and see. 7. Feels like you're working in the movie office space, no joke.

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.
