Pros

They'll hire you; yes, even you. You don't really have to try very hard. There's no expectations around knowing what you are doing. Plenty of opportunity for promotions Stable job -- never had layoffs, and you have to go out of your way to get fired

Cons

The opportunities for promotions exist because everyone above you just quit. Pay is barely above half the industry norm. Benefits are laughable, and have been steadily getting worse - while management acts like they have the best benefits anyone in the world has ever seen. An obsession with collecting metrics (see 15 minute time tracking) that are then never used for anything. This includes an extremely bad JIRA setup that makes the system incredibly slow. A terrible product that is hated by its users. (Search reddit for Meditech) You will be told that a 3600/yr raise is exceptional. With very few exceptions you will not learn a single transferable skill. Everything is proprietary. HR is your supervisor You will be given terrible hardware, and told it's a good thing, because it helps catch performance problems. You are completely responsible for setting up your work at home environment, and will given a single 20" monitor to do your work on. Company has been around since the 60s, and doesn't seem to realize that time keeps going.

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.
