Pros

The company is full of good people with good intentions

Cons

Those people with good intentions are not in positions to fix issues. The company brags about being in the Fortune 200, but it refuses to invest in fixing proprietary applications that it demands nurses, dietitians, and social workers use to document patient health. Many times a person would call tech support only to be told "Yes, this is a known problem. We cannot do anything at this time." Meanwhile developers are across the room shooting Nerf guns at each other instead of fixing the known problem. Even if the job was reasonable and everyone was working to make the clinics better, the company is cult-like. The CEO is called "The Mayor" and the company is called "The Village." Strangest of all, this "village" is somehow worse than M. Knight Shyamalan's "The Village." After every national tragedy the CEO sends out a letter as if he is the President of the United States, but to some employees he's more than that. They look up to him, keep pictures of him on their desks, and dream of meeting him. You cannot criticize his decisions or you are a blasphemer. Don't worry though, the company will send you on a three day trip to a hotel in some random city where they force you to sit through about ten hours of seminars about how wonderful the company is and how smart Ken Thiry is. You can try to just shrug off the cultishness of the place and do your work, but if you don't buy in then you will never moved upward. Hopefully that doesn't stress you out, because the mental health support services will tell you that happiness is a choice, which is laughably dangerous from a mental health perspective. Higher ups will try to tell you that your job is so much easier than theirs even though they arrive after you and leave before you. Some of the directors didn't even know that we worked on weekends.

Pros

Work from home, great peers.

Cons

Awful management, no people skills. Chronic Stressful environment. Management who have no IT background and comprehension of all that entails in work assignments. Everything is a high priority, no scope of work, no support, no business rules, no processes, no consistency in anything.

Not the company I was led to believe it was

Pros

Some great people to work with. The non-management employees are great and want to do a good job and try really hard to do a good job.

Cons

When you first come into this company they place so much importance on their company culture, but not all department heads follow the company culture. The company talks about culture and how important it is but my department doesn't seem to follow that. They are back stabbing within the department and play favorites, pitting one against the other. I was brought in and was not given any training on company specific processes, was not given any guidance on how they wanted me to do the job AND expected me to be up to speed immediately as if I had worked there for years. The company acts as though they care about the turn over rate but don't address the actual cause, which is the Management they have in place
