Pros

Their products are well known in the Medical Records industry. Having experience with thier products might open some doors at Hospitals and medical billings companies, and etc that use their software.

Cons

No Work/Life Balance what so ever. Company's official hours are 8:30 to 5:30 with 1 hour lunch break. Even though it is 40 hours work week, you just MUST spend 9 hours at the office every day, even if you take 15 or 30 min lunch or skip lunch all together. Most managers vigorously monitored what time their subordinates came in and left, and they would make a big deal if someone was a few minutes late or had to leave earlier. If you came in late or left earlier for whatever reasons, you'd be required to "make up" those hours by staying late. And it didn’t matter if you could get your work done in 2 hours; they literally were obsessed with having warm bodies at the office for 9 hours every day. The deadlines were unrealistic and often artificial. Management would create a sense of urgency about having certain features implemented by some ridiculous date, but later we would find out that clients didn't care if those features were delivered 3 month later or at all. As the result it didn't contribute to the bottom line, but only increased employees’ stress levels and dissatisfaction with the job. From what I've seen many people had to work long hours not because it was truly necessary, but because projects were badly managed, and management not caring about people having lives outside work. As the result the morale was low and high turnover rate. Avoid NextGen if you can. Go for it if you have no life or you are a chronic workaholic.

Pros

It is remote and pays enough if you have a second job.

Cons

Your job is never safe here no matter how hard you work. They just laid off nearly 100 people, all of whom were extremely valuable assets to the company. They’ll do these on a YEARLY basis. Particularly after this last round, any shred of trust I had in leadership is gone. They announced it on a town hall and the CHRO said “guys it’s only 3%, stop freaking out” completely tone deaf to the fact that nearly 100 people’s lives just got flipped upside down. The expectation is to sell your soul to the company in return for nothing. Raises and bonuses are non-existent, even with excellent performance. In peak seasons where you are putting in extra hours and/or times where you are exceeding goals, you can expect maybe a kudos email from leadership and that’s it, no real recognition for the hard work you put in. Onboarding to your team regardless of department is also an incredibly disorganized and inefficient process. You can expect to spend more time struggling to access the software you need for your job than actually learning your job. There are minimal SOPs for operations, yet management will get mad when you do something “wrong” even though they themselves cannot even explain and show the “right” way.
