This place gets the "Worst place to work at" award.
Pros
Permissive Time Off. (But even this may go away. The Value Based Care business has been acquired from GE Healthcare by Veritas Capital, a private equity firm.)
Cons
**Value Based Care** Teams are spread-out all over the US. This means, work gets delayed constantly, which affects task estimates drastically. The teams that hold the keys to everything are not local and so there is a huge delay for everything. Corporate policy is atrocious, which pretty much stifles progression. This business unit has been acquired by a private equity firm called Veritas Capital. No one's sure of what's going to happen until the actual transition is complete. Senior leadership seems to have no clue about the disarray that the engineering teams are in. People lack knowledge of how the cloud services work, and instead bring their experience working on on-premise crap. The on-premise solutions that they have is an utter disappointment. Upgrade cycles for it take ages, causing fragmentation, leaving customers behind on versions. With every upgrade, customers are left behind unless there is a regulatory mandate to upgrade to a version. Engineering teams are filled with ex-Microsoft (not from the Microsoft that is today, which is actually great) and Caradigm employees who seem to have left Microsoft to find a safe-haven of sorts where they can practice their legacy, antiquated culture. They have come here to get comfortable, and lazy. These are the types of engineers who are OK with no progress, and don't care about the big picture of the company. They are just here to nest. Engineers lack communication with each other, language problems, antiquated thinking etc. - it's all here. Oh and did I mention that this place has a whole team of "architects"? Some of them are actually pretty knowledgeable (and can code too) but they should just be made principal engineers or something. These architects set a tone that they are higher than engineers. They don't consider themselves engineers; they are architects. And apparently, that should mean something to others. People forget the word "permissive" in permissive time off, and announce week-long vacation in the middle of something important. This is extremely frustrating and yet managers do nothing to prevent this. They are fully aware of this but don't care enough, or are spread too thin to care. Employee turnover isn't a new thing around here. Teams have shrunk over the past year with no replacements. Maybe that'll change with the new company but no one knows what will happen when the new company is formed.
