Your Standard Large Corporation with the Added Aspect of Instability from Attrition
Pros
As an IT associate you are presented with a field of icebergs, with an almost innumerable amount of different technologies to deep dive into if you are driven. Hires people straight out of school. Depending on what team you are on, you can have a great experience with your co-workers. Cerner is a health conscious company that has on site doctors and access to generic medications at an extremely discounted rate.
Cons
Heavily siloed, so working across orgs almost always proves to be a challenge. Figuring out who manages what technology is a mess and can add in the worst cases days to what should be simple tasks. Uses an out of date database system that is slow and clunky. Low incremental raises with having to move mountains in order to get anything to bat an eye at. Your experience is extremely dependent on what team you are on and your management (true anywhere). With medical systems being on the line working with infrastructure can be high pressure.
