Pros

1. Everyone has a singles or doubles office. You may be able to get a single even if you just joined company. 2. Great food. Great campus. 3. I like my team a lot. A lot of great people. But this depends on team.

Cons

1. SDE2 takes 3 years rather than the standard 2. 2. Software we use internally is relatively old. Frontend we use Typescript and React, which is fine; but backend we use an ancient language called M. 3. Some overtime work, but fairly rare (depends on team). Work-life balance not the best but not terrible. 4. 1-2 required business trips to support hospitals first hand.

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
