Pros

- Pay is very good (relative to the Madison area cost of living) for a job right out of college - Benefits are also very good (e.g. health insurance, retirement matching)

Cons

- Have to exclusively work with old, outdated, and highly in-house-customized tech stacks and tooling - Lack of growth of transferrable skills - Learning plateaus very quickly (within a year or two at most) with most of that learning being healthcare domain knowledge in any case - Developers are required to do all foundational user research and design work (though without being given access to real users to actually do any of that, so it ends up just becoming guesswork that's squabbled over internally with a veneer of being "user-centered")
