Pros

There are lots of opportunities for growth and area ownership as a software developer with no prior professional experience.

Opportunities to work on improving healthcare delivery on a large scale.

Compensation is high for the area.

Cons

Many teams are comfortable living with or under lots of pre-existing technical debt and struggle keeping up with quality issues from bugs that have existed for years.

Many teams lack technical and practical expertise in their own area and integration points due to constant turnover.

Admin does not care about individual employees in any meaningful way. The COVID-19 response you read about in other negative reviews is very real and as illogical as it sounds (probably even more than it sounds).

It gets to be very frustrating working under illogical leaders. As a team member, you do not feel empowered to discuss topics with management without being scrutinized and punished in perpetuity.

Advice to Management

Think logically, give real, objective reasons for actions. Just like hills to stand on need to be real for customers to take them seriously, justifications to employees need to be real for us to take you seriously.

Don’t push the limits of legal definitions beyond logic to meet your ends.
