Pros

- Work with highly knowledgeable coworkers - Modern UI Stack - get to work with Angular, Sass, and Gulp - Code reviews from coworkers keep you learning more - The team is passionate about great working software - Weekly treats - Freedom leave policy (no limit on vacation time as long as you get your work done) - Casual Workplace, wear t-shirts - Starbucks is only 2 elevator rides down (aprox 3min) - Performance is focused on results - 25 cent vending machine - free quality coffee (Gevalia pods) - occasional parties/time off after hitting project milestones - I have a great boss I have learned more about new technologies in one year than four years at my previous employer (small web shop). Come ready to learn then dive in

Cons

- occasional nights and weekends especially around deadlines. I have seen this go on for several weeks in a row on some projects. - lots of programming is outsourced. The quality of this code is oftentimes not very good. Birmingham has a very tight market for technology talent and when working on the latest technologies it can be hard to find people. Outsourcing also allows IH to endure the ebs and flows of the business cycle. Still though - finding ways to regulate/increase the code quality of the outsourced teams seems to be an ongoing issue - Most standups are between 8-9. May not be the best standup times for night owls - with new technologies comes new technology problems. You may have to stack overflow some things. Also with new technologies, it's likely that everyone contributing code is unaware of best practices, so there is some teaching opportunities to be had

A little less talk and a lot more action if you please

Pros

There are a lot of good, smart, hardworking people that work there. But are leaving so they no longer have to be tortured with horrible products. Excellent location in the Galleria Tower. Cheap snacks and drinks. Really good pay for most positions, especially if you are in with the right people.

Cons

This used to be a great company, but has gone downhill drastically over the last 4 years. Have a large number of useless Upper Management, need to clean house of these people and use their salaries to hire real workers to try to improve the products. The product lines are a joke, there have been so many chances to make the products great but whoever makes a suggestion to make them better is usually run off or fired. Especially since there are NO processes built around delivery or development. There is no accountability for doing a poor job or in some cases not even doing your job. However good hardworking employees are leaving in multiples due to workload, long hours and no help from Management other than standing over your shoulder asking what took so long. When you explain the numerous issues with the product they just say get it working and don't do anything to fix the root of the issue. Sales team has no clue as to what the products can or cannot do and therefore lie to clients in order to get them to sign contracts and then everyone else after the sale is stuck cleaning up the mess created by sales team.. Unless you are in with the right people you are essentially overlooked and ignored on everything. Upper Management pretends to want to have client and employee feedback but no one in an office really cares or pays attention to what is said by either. Upper Management change the names of the products and the company (formerly Medseek) in hopes that no one notices how bad things really are. Be sure to look up Medseek cause nothing has changed except for the name of the company. Benefits are descent but horribly expensive and they try to say great news our insurance is not going up this year. Well that is a good thing because I can barely afford it as it is. Morale is very low amongst employees as most are now burned out and just doing what they have to just to hold on to their jobs until the next round of lay offs or until they can find something else.

Can't determine a strategy

Pros

Good pay, cool technology, and worthwhile business problems.

Cons

The're constantly switching strategy, resulting in alternating layoffs and hiring spurts, often multiple times a year. This resulted in losing great people and lowering morale.
