Pros

For a software professional, software is its primary business. There is opportunity to work on many different projects, and on many different platforms. Agile development really exists here. The healthcare industry is challenging, and there's no shortage of work that needs to be done. Interaction with customers is both educational and rewarding. The local history of the company is very interesting. If you like a multi-cultural work experience, there are people working here from all over the world. The size of the parent company gives the opportunity to move around and try other jobs. While benefits are shrinking, they are still better than many other companies.

Cons

Management is short-term focused. They decide to do one thing, then oops, that was wrong. Stop everything. Let's do this instead. Some management is very sleazy and back-handed. People are afraid, and will never speak up.

Pros

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
