Pros

- Excellent campus - Great cafeteria - Good salary - Good job security - It is satisfying to see the features you developed (as a Software Developer) being used by customers! (I cannot say the same about Technical Services and Project Management folks)

Cons

- Dealing with demanding customers can be very difficult - Most of the company still uses VB for front-end development (increasingly C#/ASP.Net is being used). Backend is completely done in an obscure environment called 'cache' (language is called "M"). So the Developers get less and less marketable skills. - Review system is still "Closed" (i.e you do not know what your review was - All you see is some increase in your salary at the end of the year). - Sometimes the company feels like a "cult"

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
