Pros

Some great benefits, cheap healthcare, great location, you're making a difference, beautiful campus, delicious and cheap food, solid pay (especially for the area), you get constant feedback from your boss on how to improve/what you're doing well, and people are very helpful.

Cons

I got moved around a lot with some great managers, but I still would have liked some stability. Some roles can be super rough with work/life balance and require a ton of travel. Depending on your manager, you can be expected to work pretty late. Slow development process. Many teams are still using VERY outdated languages, so skills may not transfer to later jobs. There is a lot to learn when you join, long training period where you learn medical terms, code base, language, and healthcare regulations.

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
