Pros

If being of service to society is important to you, Meditech gives you the opportunity to create software for clinics and hospitals. Ultimately, your work will contribute to quality care for sick patients. (If you do think this way, keep in mind that most customers are for-profit hospitals. You are helping sick people... and those sick people may be driven bankrupt because of it.) The buildings and interiors are beautiful. There is always somewhere to park. They have cafes in all the buildings.

Cons

-They have embraced a mostly hybrid work schedule, meaning that you only need to come to the office 2-3 days a week. But the commute is absolutely horrifying if you live more than 20 minutes away from your office. Expect regular commute times of 90 minutes or more. The impact to your mental health will be destructive, and, in the long term, shattering. If you work there, find a place to live close by. Your life depends on it. They will be callous regarding this requirement. -They mostly use proprietary software. Overall, working there will be somewhat bad for your resume. There are a few companies who value your experience there (such as Avera and HCA), but for the most part the industry won't know what to do with you. You might do well if you get a job as a GCP engineer, however. -They chronically underpay their employees.

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.
