Pros

This company has the potential to make dramatic changes in the healthcare arena. They have a valued name and reputation.

Cons

The leadership of this company does not understand how to bring products to market(software). Too many silos the organization needs a significant overhaul. The skills of the employees are the most important asset they have, but like a majority of companies they place very little value on the employees. Employees are not looked at as an asset but a liability. The most discouraging part of this is the products suffer and the end user suffers, for a healthcare company this could be disastrous. This is certainly apparent with the issues that were encountered with the Cleveland problems. I would not want to be on the receiving end of a quality related issue because delivery schedule is more important than the quality of the system being delivered.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
