Pros

As previously mentioned, the on-site perks are wonderful. The team-building activities are a major plus as well. One of the best places to work in the Greater Cleveland Area.

Cons

It is high school, a soap opera, and mafia all-in-one. You're either with the "in" crowd, or you're meat. Some "managers" can't handle their own egos or emotions, and will punish differing opinions that they deem to be not in line with "the team/family" (read: "Different than what they want to hear.") Or better yet, those whom have employees with superior technical and/or math abilities who feel threatened by a subordinate who presents a proven solution which they lack the ability/education comprehend. (It works, but I don't "get it," so it must be bad!) After a failed IPO, they sold out to a venture company for a quick buck; but are now no longer in control of their own future. IE: if their return isn't high enough, they could be flipped and dismantled by a big corporation. They are right in saying that healthcare is the future... Unfortunately, Panasonic, Sony, GE, and a multitude of large multi-national companies agree. However, they outgun Hyland on software design, and actually have their own hardware developments; Hyland has a diner. As previously mentioned, if you're one of the "old guard" managers, you can do what you like with impunity. Seniority is what counts, and below fifteen years of emplyment, being LIKED by seniority is what counts.

Pros

Remote or hybrid capability. Usually a flexible schedule.

Cons

Constant quiet firing. They've figured out how to avoid public disclosures quite well. Every month they're whacking batches of 20~30 employees - esp. if you were in a higher pay band or part of an acquired company. There's constant leadership churn as of late - not that leadership was ever that great, but the clownshow has more makeup on the pigs now. If you were part of an acquired company, the stench of nepotism was constant. Hyland doesn't provide legitimate training or certification assistance for everyone. Their products would fail any sort of security scan by an AI tool too. If you're a customer, buyer beware.
