Pros

Good pay. Good health insurance, except for trans healthcare and fertility treatments. You meet smart people, and many of them are friendly.

Cons

Bad work-life balance, culture of overwork. Management can change things on a whim with no notice or accountability (ask any current employee about AS; they'll know what it means). ABSOLUTELY NO SALARY TRANSPARENCY. Nearly made us come back to the office during the height of Covid-19. Good work is met with silence and more work, but bad work is commented on. They prioritize logging long hours over quality of work, but your TL may still ask you why a task took 30 minutes instead of 15. Expectations are rarely clear, sympathy for personal circumstances is variable (I know one person who took a leave of absence for mental health reasons and one person who was just point-blank fired), and burnout and turnover are high. No affirmative action or anti-bias policies at all, and it shows; only 5-10% of devs are female, and there are maybe 2 black devs at the whole company.

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
