Pros

Meditech is as financially stable as they come. Even in flat years, there are no cash flow issues, so annual bonuses and profit sharing aren't greatly affected. The day-to-day work is challenging but rewarding, and my co-workers are all a pleasure to work with (seriously; there's not a "bad" person in my department). As an electronic health record company, their medical insurance is, as can be expected, top notch, with 90% coverage for me and my entire family. It's benefits like these that help make staying pretty enticing. Some departments have fully embraced Agile methodology, which is refreshing.

Cons

The base salary is lower than industry average, and while annual raises are consistent, there is less emphasis on personal performance and more on overall company performance which drives the size of the average raise. This is slowing changing, which is good, but needs to be completely re-vamped in my opinion. Additionally, while I have learned a lot in my position, the only place for me to advance is into a Lead role. Otherwise, the only promotion available is into a supervisory position.

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.
