Pros

Challenging and interesting work. An ability to make a difference within healthcare. Excellent peers. Quick advancement for those who show they have what it takes.

Cons

Token adjustments from time to time that pretend to understand work life balance never quite get to the root issue. High turnover creates more work for those left behind which creates a domino effect of even more turnover. Management often full of themselves. Management advancement process opaque and a black box affair. CEO slightly crazy. But other high management types incredibly capable. Only trouble is, they take orders from a slightly crazy CEO. Things are getting better but IS are still considered replaceable. A greater focus on employee retention would go a long way to making this an incredible place to work. But maybe it's easier to exploit high-performing college graduates who had no idea what job to take after graduation.

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
