Great mission that is being failed by upper management

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Salary. Pretty campus, if somewhat vapid in benefits, meaningful work, hires great people who want to make a difference and are willing to work hard.

Cons

Upper management is very opaque in its decision-making process and is unwilling to take the welfare of their employees seriously. The current Covid-19 response (attempting to skirt every health regulation and get people back in office as fast as public relations will allow them to) is emblematic of the issue. They want to churn and burn their employees and do not care about your well-being to dangerous extents. This is without even getting to our out-date stack and dev process.

Meaningful Work, Draining Management

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

SD salary is great, especially for the area. If your direct manager is good, you have a good amount of freedom. Not everything you do directly impacts care, but plenty of projects are beneficial for both providers and patients.

Cons

The decisions that management makes aren't very transparent. This includes things such as salary and Epic's middling COVID response. The experience is *very* dependant on your direct manager. If they're bad, it can be difficult to keep going. There's lots of pressure to work late hours. Like most things, this depends a lot on your direct manager. Management seems to be terrified of employees having collective power and punishes those who try. See Lewis v Epic. This isn't rare, but it's still a con. Epic's COVID response hasn't been terrible, but it could use work. The reasons for every step we take are obfuscated, and all we're told is that Epic is using data somehow.

Epic is like a grandma who seems all sweet and caring, until you bring up politics and she goes on a crazy rant.

Business Outlook

Pros

* Competitive salary for Madison * Good, cheap food * Excellent health insurance

Cons

* Poor work life balance. Learn to say no, and often. * Mediocre parental leave policy * Mediocre vacation policy. I'd much rather have a bonus + additional yearly vacation. * Mediocre 401k match * Anti-labor policies, such as Epic v. Lewis * Culture where there's no transparency and employees have no real input. * Being subject to the whims of an eccentric billionaire. Let's ban french fries. Let's rename Infection Control to Bugsy. Let's bring everyone back to campus in the middle of a pandemic so that we can all hide in our windowless broom closets and remote into every meeting. Because "culture". Great idea! I mean, even Cerner is letting their employees work from home through the end of the year. Smh
