Pros

Generally helpful coworkers, when they have the time. Pay is great if you survive for a couple of years. Good experience for recent college graduates.

Cons

-Work life balance is non-existent. -Micromanaging and controlling culture, to make up for lack of competent managers. -No flexibility to work remotely. Even just a couple days a month. Have to take stupid half and half days and burn PTO. -Creepy surveillance of employee productivity hours (confirmed existence of a dashboard and auto alerts to managers if you leave early or remote in). -CEO and executive leadership are completely out of touch with employees in the trenches. -Family/parent hostile - no concessions or ability to take a pay cut / move into a less demanding role for those who want to start a family. Offered unpaid leave as a solution during COVID school closures and remote work wasn’t even on the table. -Executive leadership severely disrespects and questions the critical thinking ability or time management skills of employees when they ask for help, rather than providing resources or assistance. -Feedback culture is one-sided and toxic. Incentivized to bury mistakes, tout your own accomplishments, and in general try to be “visible” in the ranking popularity contest for higher raises and bonuses. Productivity is measured largely in billable hours and not quality of work.

Pros

Decent salary and great insurance.

Cons

Salaried employees are required to log time worked down to a granularity of 15 minute increments. The expectation is to log a MINIMUM of 45 hours or else you will be assigned additional “opportunities”. During WFH they actively monitored metadata from laptops to determine work location and level of activity (and probably still do). Attempted to bring all employees back to campus during the peak of COVID and only abandoned the plan after being called out by local and National media. Due to high turnover, new employees who are still in training are thrown to the wolves and expected to staff complex installs at healthcare organizations. Upper management actively ignores feedback while claiming to foster a feedback culture. Do yourself a favor and stay away — the money is not worth it.

Pros

There are a lot of other fresh/new grads - the first couple of months are likely to be "College 2.0" where you have a lot of free time and minimal work to do since you are still training. A pro is since everyone is quitting, atleast you'll have job security since they're trying to hold onto anyone they can!!! (but your mental health will 100% suffer)

Cons

All your friends will quit sooner than later - retention sucks, job sucks. Fish eats fish world - barely any WFH. Imagine this - Epic, leading EMR company, has possibly the WORST COVID response I have seen. WFH (during peak COVID) only after insane pushback, but you can still only WFH from the Madison area??? They are living in lalaland up there.
