Pros

Remote work, Culture hanging on by a thread

Cons

Since being bought by Allscripts and fully converting to them in May 2019, it is steadily going downhill at Pulse8. And, the slope has become increasingly steep since the CEO, John Criswell, was fired in April 2020. Allscripts hasn't had an operating profit in about 3 years, and they used COVID-19 to reduce our pay 15% . BUT, this only applies to the 6 figure guys and gals and only for current employees. New hires are not subjected to this malfeasance. It's supposed to last only 6 months, but the Allscripts brass is always a little vague on that subject. Allscripts is in trouble. Their stock is trading low, their margins are crap, and the core business is losing market share. The only shimmering light is the Veradigm/Pulse8 business unit. Veradigm also has it's own issues (see DOJ settlement) that Pulse8 is being punished for. Unfortunately, the mismanagement of the corporate overlords trickles down...

Pros

Honestly, not many that I can think of

Cons

I found out that I was making $25K less in salary than my peers of the same level. When I was orientation, the CEO at the time screamed in my face because I wasn't standing during a team meeting, which was something that was never explained to me. He is unhinged. My manager was toxic and manipulative and abusive. This company was responsible for my terrible mental health and my unhealthy weight loss and poor health while I worked there.
