Pros

This company has the potential to make dramatic changes in the healthcare arena. They have a valued name and reputation.

Cons

The leadership of this company does not understand how to bring products to market(software). Too many silos the organization needs a significant overhaul. The skills of the employees are the most important asset they have, but like a majority of companies they place very little value on the employees. Employees are not looked at as an asset but a liability. The most discouraging part of this is the products suffer and the end user suffers, for a healthcare company this could be disastrous. This is certainly apparent with the issues that were encountered with the Cleveland problems. I would not want to be on the receiving end of a quality related issue because delivery schedule is more important than the quality of the system being delivered.

Pros

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Cons

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
