Pros

5 cent soda, good food that you are not allowed time to eat. The caf is good but they encourage you to eat at your desk.

Cons

The worst company I ever worked for, I quit during training period. The turnover is unbelievable, the owner made his own method to calculate employee turnover that does not count people that quit before working a full year. Pay is a joke, I was the highest paid recruit in my class by far and still quit. They track your every move as you must sign in every time you change areas. The product is in the stone ages. There is little upward movement and managers make half of their pay recruiting new people. The owner will not let you use real office software, as he insists that this is a "software company" and makes you use in house developed word processing and other programs that are straight out of the 1980's and cause many hours of extra work. They will not let you use any sick days, they say that is your "long term disability". I heard that they offer as low as 24K a year to start, they make you travel 2 weeks of the year for that slave wage. The owner forces employees to buy private company stock, he lost most of that money investing in real estate.

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.
