Pros

Good health insurance and work-life balance.

Cons

Extremely low salary for developers (25-35k+ below market) No 401k matching. Uses its own proprietary programming languages for nearly every part of the software, which may have worked better than existing solutions 50 years ago, but are left in the dust in every aspect by modern open source solutions. Teams spend years implementing worse versions of things that already exist and are free, only to stop supporting them almost entirely. The issue is to the extent that my honest opinion is that they do it to keep developers from having marketable skills. Almost no opportunity for advancement unless someone leaves.

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.
