Pros

The opportunity to learn about the Medical field Stable company... almost The immense community involvement by way of blood drives, fundraisers and volunteer work

Cons

WOW this is too easy so I'll keep it to the first ten things that pop into my head... 1. Inadequate PC Hardware/software 2. Poor management that overlooks and promotes bad behavior including violating HIPAA regulations 3. Lack of understanding of what is required to get the job done 4. Lack of knowledge of work 5. Lack of focus on important issues such as insurance contracting problems 6. Lack of coordination with projects 7. TERRIBLE pay, as a lead I make less than $10/hr 8. ICARE principles are a JOKE!!! A member of the ICARE committee routinely disregards all rules 9. HR team that is more interested in making friends than following trough on complaints 10. Inadequate training; the lab department doesn't even have a trainer!!!

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
