Pros

Good Benefits with unlimited PTO and nice 401 match

Cons

The Healthcare practice is in decline largely because of increased competition and the failure of there latest revenue cycle software Aeos. Aeos was over architect-ed and built on the wrong technology stack (Silverlight, Biztalk and Entity Framework). Aeos was also built with capabilities/features that the client did not want or need. Consulting culture often trades off short term gains at the expense long term health of the product. As a result technical debt was ignored in favor of more features. Consulting culture also favors "friends/buddies" and promotes those individuals rather than people who might have dissenting views on what they feel is right.

The Truth

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits are great - Culture depends on where you work, but good overall - Lots of different business areas you can work in

Cons

- The pay IS NOT COMPETITIVE. They’ll use all kinds of complex verbiage, state they performed a market study….and every, single time they’ll say “you’re being paid appropriately”. - They’ll trick you into taking on new responsibilities or even a new role saying it’ll get you a promotion, but will screw you over at year end and essentially promote without an increase. They’ll then say they’ll give you your promotion increase the following year and then will stiff you again. This happened to me and countless colleagues. Essentially, they’re highly deceptive when it comes to promotions and salary increases and they do everything they can to get the most out of you without paying you more. They’ll get you to take on more work in a higher level position, but won’t pay you for it. Instead, they’ll say you “grew” into the role and then some bs about how you should be very proud and you’re a highly valuable employee. - You’re CONSTANTLY told how valuable and high-performing you are, but you’ll NEVER be shown via promotions, salary increase, increased benefits. It’s all lip service. - Upper Management is completely out of touch with their employees - Mid Management is even more lost since they’re in a “blind leading the blind” scenario

Pros

They pay exceptionally well. Probably 15% over market. But then again, they have to in order to keep good people. The are willing to get some of their people into training as needed. Good parties if you are accepted into the "IN" crowd. Some good people with decades of experience in delivery, but only some.

Cons

I'll just add a few. Too many cons to even go into. Now these are my opinions based on what I saw, what I experienced, and my personal values, and ethical compass. If you fit in, they will most likely not attempt to harm you. . I was paid very well, but had to leave. I could not handle their politics any longer. (Both business and government). . These people are like a low end Gartner or Forrester group who are trying to specialize in healthcare and now playing with ERP implementations. They have no idea how to run a project, how to implement, or estimate a project. They are off by 40% to 60% in some cases. . 80% of their people are snow flakes who get offended to if they have to work more than 6 hours a day. . They are a "social justice warrior" company, and very socialistic politically. It is a rough environment to work in if you have even the slightest disagreement with their political views. . Very dishonest upper management. Dishonest with their people, and dishonest with their clients. Management is arrogant, snooty, self-important, and terrible at project strategy. . I've seen good people get promoted to director and above, where they begin to show serious signs of dishonesty, back stabbing, and unethical behavior. . If you have 5 or more years of hard core ERP experience, this is not the place for you. You will find incompetence, favoritism, and overall leftist political agendas everywhere. This is not a safe company if you did not vote for Hillary Clinton. It's that simple.
