Pros
Most of the technical people are actually quite knowledgeable, competent and smart. Super friendly too. It's when ppl get the word "Director" in their title... that's when things take a wrong turn. I don't think anyone in the company history ever complained that the pay isn't great. One of the highest paying employers around. Flexible hours and awesome work-life balance.
Cons
Forget about growth opportunities. Nonexistent. 4 years ago there were 1800+ employees. Today the number barely crosses 500. Layoffs every 6 months on average for the past 4 years. We might actually be able to break some dubious record in 2012 with 3 layoffs in one calendar year. But it wasn't always this bad. When I started here, the company was doing quite good. Failure to innovate was it's demise. Constant political battles up top. I have seen first hand that all it takes is a handful of selfish senior level execs to absolutely destroy a company. I have seen a top level exec in charge of a legacy system instruct his directs to do whatever they can to sabotage the development of a new system. Go figure. The CXOs must realize that it's "innovate-or-die". That's how this country was built. This company forgot that a long time ago and as a result, it is probably going to close its doors soon. RIP Health Dialog.
