Pros

The company's goals (provide good customer service, improve health care) are easy to get behind. They're generally acknowledged as the best in the health IT field. The pay is competitive, and the atmosphere is casual. They seem to hire, or at least intend to hire, based on ability rather than quantity of resume buzzwords.

Cons

You aren't likely to acquire trendy skills while working here. Though some people do web/mobile development, depending on your team (and/or customer, if you're in a customer-facing role), you might work long hours. I don't, and that obviously affects the rating I'm giving.

The company has a rather controversial reputation due to a number of outspoken former employees and competitors. You'll frequently be asked about your job.

Advice to Management

Take a serious look at why turnover is so high, especially in IS.
