Pros

-There are some brilliant, wonderful people working at MEDITECH. I've met some of my best friends there and am proud of the work I've done with my colleagues. -Serves as a good launch pad to other careers in the medical IT and software industries.

Cons

-Upper management doesn't trust their staff to do their job and imposes a number of big-brother micromanagement tactics to track employee productivity. - Company-wide, salaries are not at all competitive with the industry. Management announced this Fall that the salary review system has been overhauled to make salaries more competitive, but early reports from my colleagues regarding their recent raises have not been promising. - The pandemic gave the company a unique opportunity to implement a full-time work-from-home option for employees, but executives (namely, the CEO) insist on making everyone return to the office in January 2022. A similar push to return to the office was attempted previously in the summer of 2021, but was postponed due to enormous pushback and employee resignations. I expect a similar mass exodus early next year if this policy remains in place. - Communication from leadership is often confusing, contradictory, and disorganized. Many times, policy decisions appear hastily-made and capricious. Mid-level management finds out about a lot of important company initiatives and mandates at the same time as their employees and often have to scramble to damage control. -MEDITECH has a reputation for supporting legacy platforms indefinitely. This stretches the development and client services resources thin as they often need to support three different platforms. It also give the company a negative reputation in the industry as many of our users have only been exposed to the old, antiquated MAGIC that looks like it was coded in 1985 (because it was). Only new customers and customers that upgrade to Expanse have a modern EHR experience.

Pros

The biggest pro of meditech are the coworkers and lower/middle management. The majority of them are good people who have been a pleasure to work with.

Cons

There is a long last of very fast recent cons that this company has been undertaking and it makes me sad to see the company moving in this direction because for years it has been a truly great place. To start the morale right now is at an all-time low. The new CEO is completely out of touch with her staff and the simple things they want and what's worse is it doesn't seem like she cares. MEDITECH has always paid salary below market value but in the past they could at least balance this with industry-high benefits. That is no longer the case. The bonus has been sliced down to almost being irrelevant. Staff can no longer purchase stock at this *private* company. MEDITECH recently added a 401K but does not fund it it's fully self-funded by the staff. We were recently informed that our sick time is not to be used for more than 5 "unplanned" sick days a year before disciplinary action will be taken so if you have chronic issues good luck to you. And the vacation time is so below industry standards it isn't even funny they need to add two weeks to all of their vacation tiers and then they'll be competitive. Post-pandemic modern 21st century tech companies are embracing the Work at Home lifestyle recognizing that it saves the company money while raising morale and happiness of staff that don't have to spend 10+ hours a week in traffic. Not MEDITECH. Here, the new CEO "feels like" we need to be in the office with no empirical evidence to back this up. So in January we're back to the office two times a week minimum. Goodbye MEDITECH's overhead savings and goodbye the staff morale of being at home. But perhaps the worst of it all is the Time Machine a trust-breaking morale-crushing time tracking tool in which MEDITECH staff have to track every minute of their days because.......... we still don't know. I do hope that MT turns this around because I used to be really proud to work here and thought highly of the company culture and the way it operated. That pride is leaving quickly now along with the staff so I hope upper management wakes up and kicks it in gear.

Pros

-Better than average health insurance -Supportive middle management

Cons

-Incompetent CEO -Out-of-touch executive team -No Human Resources department -Low salaries (and proposed increases to make salaries more competitive will take years to take effect) -Raises do not meet the yearly cost of living increases even for exemplary employees -Discontinuation of existing full-time telecommuting program for some employees and a minimum 40% in-office requirement per pay period for ALL employees (despite supposed sales growth while all staff were TC-ing full-time during the pandemic) -Massachusetts buildings are only convenient to those living in Norfolk and Bristol counties -Multiple methods of time tracking/attendance including a tool where you must track every minute of your day
