      Pros

      Decent employer for the HQ market. Decent pay and benefits. Wide array of opportunities if the role you're in becomes routine (relatively easy to move within the company). Some ability to take risks. Collaborative environment. More than a one trick pony.

      Cons

      HQ campus is depressing. Remodeled buildings remind me of Star Trek Enterprise. Moving to office designs with a communial style (few walls/dividers between workspaces). "Profit Sharing" is deferred compensation...was first taken away, then returned the following year...not sure it motivates anyone. Stock options only for managers or equivalents (people generally in second half of their careers).

      Pros

      *Lots of room for improvement here *Chaotic environment (if that's your thing) *Loyal personnel *Well-maintained facilities

      Cons

      *Customer service issues *Product issues *Resource issues (extremely short staffed, no SMEs left) *Application knowledge issues *Nonexistent training *General malaise (stress, burnout, fear-driven culture, fragile egos) *Slow moving in the faced-paced world of healthcare *Little unified vision besides talk *Initiatives are reactive and run on fear, confusion and stress rather than focus, strategy and priorities. *Key and influencial IT staff and high performers seem to get easily lost in the shuffle of confusion, incompetence, and mistrust *Avoidance is the main solution
