Allscripts Reviews

Pros

Pretty flexible when it comes to PTO Able to transfer teams Will pay for cert test and some training (depending on the department)

Cons

The company is ALWAYS changing management. It's hard to keep track of who's your boss. I was there a long time and layoffs are the norm every Thanksgiving and a few other odd times per year. Most teams are moving to India. Will layoff anyone or let anyone walk not matter how valuable they are. The company doesn't have any money and survives day by day. (hence layoffs) Benefits are crap - terrible insurance.

Pros

Big company, lots of good benefits. I especially benefited from the tuition reimbursement. Many 'organizations' within the larger Allscripts so opportunity to move around to find the best fit. If you get the right manager and team with good chemistry, it's a awesome job. I would've stayed forever. I was there for over 13 years as it was. - If you get the wrong manager (the "good ole' boy" friends first type)- life will suck for you. I've been in both situations here. Loads of professional growth type trainings and certifications. I also appreciated the SDLC process and oddly liked the rigidity of it. We had excellent RTE and scrum masters to help shepherd that along.

Cons

VERY difficult to advance up the ranks- it took me 4 years to get from Sr. to Expert despite my annual submissions of examples for every bullet point on how I met the next level. Funny how after a mass exodus of BAs in our dept one year, including me, nearly everyone that was left got a promotion! Go figure. Point to my first Con above- there is a bit of the "good ole' boys" mindset going on. Friends first, experience second.

Pros

Compensation, Benefits, Co-workers, Work from Home

Cons

Unrealistic leadership expectations, Layoffs, Product challenges, lack of execution.

Pros

Giveback program, benefits, company hosted parties regularly, random quarterly 'unplug' days,

Cons

i'm sure there's a few. not much room to grow. definitely room for lateral movement but upwards climbs take forever. also you may be told something, then later told something else by the same person like they never told you the first thing to begin with. so you might end up wasting a year :p
