Pros

Decent pay for a starter job, good food, everyone gets an office (either your own or shared with 1 other person). Fun campus, comfortable physical environment and good amenities. Good insurance benefits. Meaningful, impactful work. And the Madison area is a good place to live despite the inflated housing market.

Cons

Upper management values productivity and profit over the health and safety of employees. Upper management does not respect employees or seriously consider their feedback. Recruiters lie about hours expectations; overtime work of at least a few hours every week is necessary and demanded. PTO benefits meets expectations but are not enough to make up for the extra hours required every week. The response to COVID has been abhorrent. They are requiring us to fully return to working from work with no evidence the pandemic is subsiding and no evidence that working from campus is any more beneficial to employees or the company than working from home, and they aren't even requiring masks. Perceived productivity is actively valued more highly than employee health and safety.

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
