Pros

I have worked at DrFirst for a few years now and look forward to my future with them. I feel very lucky to work with such a wonderful group of passionate, fun and driven co-workers, managers and executives. Working here is not just a job but is a place where you can feel real fulfillment in what you do while continuing to learn and be challenged in an innovative environment. It is great to work for a company that really cares about what they do and in making a difference in the medical industry. As a business technology analyst I work closely with developers, QA, architects, product and project managers, DBAs and systems engineering, support and integration and have learned a great deal in a short amount of time. I started in support where I also worked with these departments and account managers, sales and deployment teams. Working in support was fun and a great place to learn. I've had great experiences working with all departments and was given the opportunity for advancement very quickly.

Cons

The company is growing very quickly in a changing industry so faces the usual obstacles that come along with this. However management and the owner himself are always willing to listen and help, and are always looking for new ideas for improvement.

Pros

The reason why I continue to commute over 70 miles a day to work at DrFirst is mostly due to the support they give me. They want me to be successful. It makes sense - when I'm successful, they're successful. Why wouldn't they support me? Not all companies do, and it's tough to put a price on a company that is more than willing to give me opportunities to learn, grow, and move up in my career. Executive management is pretty hands-on, and most of the management I've worked with has been quick to commend good work and offer insight and guidance when I struggle.

Cons

I wouldn't consider DrFirst to be a startup, but they are a relatively small company in a fast paced and dynamic industry. My job doesn't always feel very structured, but while this can be frustrating, it's also much more interesting. It keeps things from getting too monotonous. Still, it sometimes feels like we're not 100% sure what direction to head in. Goals and priorities shift pretty often. I gave 5 stars overall, but I would give 4.5 if I could.

Pros

DrFirst has a a hyper expanding client base and is THE top leading eprescribing company in the industry. DrFirst is now more of a "Think-Tank" than ever before. New ideas, creativity, and entrepreneurship is heavily encouraged. So much so that the company CEO will sit down with you to discuss anything top-of-mind. Compensation for the company is above the norm and they focus on hiring and retaining talent rather than burning through their talent. Everyone is given the chance to succeed. Company leadership is committed to being the best and being innovators in the industry. If you are detail oriented with ability to communicate effectively and hit deadlines, you will thrive in this environment. There is an open door policy for all of Senior Management making it easy to make suggestions or even share concerns.

Cons

Time difference with the Mesa, Arizona office makes communication with the West Coast office difficult, but as long as you are flexible this is no real issue
