Pros

+ Campus is attractive, parking is good + Food served on-campus is good + People are generally nice; willing to help you if you ask + Even developers travel to customer sites - a nice touch to remind you why you're doing this + Positive culture - people want to do the right thing

Cons

- Bureaucracy can be overwhelming with respect to changing code - Codebase is old and patchy, to the point where the changes you make don't feel useful - Above two points mean the job feels less like a developer job and more like a generic job with a technology requirement - Technologies are somewhat out-of-sync with the outside world. This is slowly changing (they are migrating from an old frontend to a newer one), but you aren't on the cutting edge. - Don't take the job if you're a software perfectionist - there's a lot of stuff you'll want to do that you can't - Amount of time-logging can feel excessive at times

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
