Allscripts Reviews

Pros

People and work from home opportunity

Cons

Slow growth prospects and promotion. Pay growth is average

Pros

Flexibility to work from home when needed

Cons

Management needs to better understand the market

Pros

Good management team. Development and QA teams get along very well. Company is focused on keeping its employees happy. Allscripts does a lot of fun activities such as cookouts, and charitable events. Strong products in the market place.

Cons

Very old Microsoft technology stack. Tech stack is based on VB 6 from 1999. Microsoft retired VB 6 about 2005. Unfortunately since the tech stack is so antiquated it is a bit of a career killer. Technology skills quickly erode in this environment. There is not a lot of motivation by senior management to invest in new technology.

Pros

Can be fun, fast paced, rewarding

Cons

Painfully slow sometimes, no room for advancement, the company is all about the money and is far from customer oriented. The list can go on. It has taken 3 years to finally make a $1 more an hour than when I was hired. I find that a little insulting.

Advice to Management

Listen to the complaints and suggestions by your clients and workers. In this day and age, all it takes is one comment to the right person at the right time and this company will IMPLODE and the board will be left scratching their heads and wondering why.

Pros

Great Company great employees

Cons

Upper management not consigned with employees

Advice to Management

Listen and understand your employees a little better so they can an enjoyable work envionment.

Pros

Great experience for individual growth

Cons

They preach innovation, yet organization conducts business like its the early 2000's. Enough structure to limit your ability to get things done quickly, while not having enough formalized processes where different groups arent held accountable. Unfortunately, things just go round and around, while clients suffer with a bad product and no progress on things.

Advice to Management

You cant use the same senior leaders and expect a better outcome. Too many people in leadership positions that maintain status quo. Also, too many tenured people who understand what it takes to remain employed, while not doing enough to add value.

Pros

Good company, great Associate Managers

Cons

Moved a lot of jobs to India, potential layoffs every quarter. A lot of sales rep lie to their clients to get them stuck in lengthy contracts, in return more concession are needed to be given putting the company in a lengthy track of debt. So many client ending their relationship with Allscripts that stock has fallen tremendously. Upper management needs drastic change.

Advice to Management

Needs New Direction drastically especially in sales and finance.

Pros

Good Company to work for. Good benefits, plenty of PTO. Plenty of training opportunities to advance yourself.

Cons

If you are not working at one of the corporate offices and instead working from home or are outsourced and work at a hospital then it has its drawbacks. Employees that work at a corporate office seem to have more and better perks, and more corporate advancement opportunities unless you want to relocate. If you are an outsourced employee working at a hospital you are working under the financial constraints of that hospital....

Advice to Management

Treat all employees equal no matter what location they work at. Keep up the good work!
