Pros

- Excellent campus - Great cafeteria - Good salary - Good job security - It is satisfying to see the features you developed (as a Software Developer) being used by customers! (I cannot say the same about Technical Services and Project Management folks)

Cons

- Dealing with demanding customers can be very difficult - Most of the company still uses VB for front-end development (increasingly C#/ASP.Net is being used). Backend is completely done in an obscure environment called 'cache' (language is called "M"). So the Developers get less and less marketable skills. - Review system is still "Closed" (i.e you do not know what your review was - All you see is some increase in your salary at the end of the year). - Sometimes the company feels like a "cult"

Pros

Informal, comfortable workplace - no need to dress up and coworkers were generally pleasant to work with. Very nice campus.

Cons

Almost no focus on employee development - the philosophy seems to be to work people fairly hard, compensate them on the low end of the scale, and replace them with recent college graduates when they inevitably move on to something better.

Pros

They hire people right out of college with no healthcare experience and provide reasonably good initial training and certifications, which are impossible to obtain unless you work for one of their clients. They provide a good benefits package and a fairly high salary for recent college graduates. There are a lot of opportunities to get involved in interesting projects around the company. After working on several implementations, you get a pretty good idea about how the industry works in general, which comes in useful if you continue a career in healthcare. Talented and hard-working co-workers

Cons

Very poor work/life balance. Expect to work at least 55 hours a week regularly and up to 80 during heavy workloads (which happens every couple of months). Middle management is very hit or miss because they are promoted on the number of hours they logged rather than quality of work or actual management skills. Customers' needs are always valued over employees, which leads to employees being treated as expendable resources.
