Pros

The initial salary package was good and more than the other top-tier companies.

Cons
  1. No annual hikes or appreciations.

  2. The tech stack is legacy, which is part of Cerner's internal legacy application stack.

  3. No growth for new tech and no opportunities beyond certain areas.

  4. Very unprofessional senior management. Despite such a huge brand, Cerner, which is part of Oracle, the behavior of senior employees like Scrum Masters, Team Leads, or even Managers is completely worse.

  5. Too much redundant, process-oriented work, which is hard for any newcomer to the project. It also creates a lot of co-dependency for smaller things during work with team members as the process is too complicated.

  6. They hire you for one role but assign irrelevant work, like support-related tasks and incident management, along with process-oriented work.

  7. Employees at the senior level lack basic manners and behavior. They behave rudely, which is very inappropriate.

Advice to Management
  1. Management needs to focus on training all employees on a healthy work culture, as most co-workers and senior management lack basic decency and manners when communicating.

  2. Management should focus on the toxic work culture and take stringent action to eradicate it, providing a healthy, nurturing environment for employees.

  3. Focus on emerging tech areas and development alongside legacy tech stacks, as I don't see many options with emerging tech in the company.
