-Nepotism rules this company. If you take a job here you will find out that everyone knows everyone from somewhere previously in the company. This is significantly more of a problem because people get positions they do not have the expertise for requiring others to pick up the slack which is EXTREMELY common. - Code base was a complete mess and very difficult to deal with and the for the most part just throw bandaids everywhere to try to fix it. Thats why they call themselves the data plumbers, LOTS of bad quality duct tape due to the fact they try to outsource everything, which you'd hope wouldnt happen in a MEDICAL INFORMATION company, but here we are. - People lie. I had no issues with my job until someone decided they didnt like me. Literally made up meetings that didnt happen in an effort to remove me. - If you want to become a better developer this is not the place. There are a myriad of other places that will pay you more to actually learn decent skills, not just become a cog in their asinine system. If you're reading this, you can do better. - This didnt happen to me personally, but I know of a number of employees that are essentially trapped to the company due to the fact they hold getting them HB-1 Status over their heads. They want to take ridiculous amounts of time to go through the process while other companies will start with it and not use it as a bargaining chip. - One of the CEOS is nice, but the other one is a bully. Uses his status to pressure others into situations. Once talked about some of my own very personal matters around others that had no right to know about it. I was shocked.

Family owned company which results in nepotism. The free lunch is more to keep people tied to their desks so they can't feel free to take a lunch. Regardless of how much a person works or their productivity, it appears that if someone has the ear of management and doesn't like someone, their job is in jeopardy. They do not hold entire teams to the same standard. They have poor treatment of employees who telework. The way they treated a recent employee damaged morale and everyone feels insecure in their jobs now. Very troubling for those of us left. Senior manager in place who doesn't truly understand the role or work of certain employees, so the manager relies too heavily on certain employees to keep him informed and allowing them to affect his judgment. Old school cronyism. Poor work/life balance. Low pay which they are trying to fix. They seem to cut people loose for no reason which makes people very nervous. No one feels safe or secure anymore. A lot of people are looking for employment elsewhere.
