Pros

The initial salary package was good and more than the other top tier companies.

Cons

1. No annual hikes or appreciations. 2. The tech stack is legacy which is part of Cerner's internal legacy application stack. 3. No growth for new tech and no opportunities beyond the certain areas. 4. Very unprofessional senior management despite of such a huge brand Cerner which is part of Oracle now the behaviour of Senior employees like Scrum Masters or Team Leads or even Managers are completely worse. 5. Too much redundant process oriented work which is hard for any new comer to the project and also creates lots of co dependency for smaller things during work with team members as the process is too complicated. 6. They hire you for one role but assign irrelevant work like support related, Incident management along with process oriented work. 7. The employees in senior level lack basic manners and behaviour as they behave rude which is very in appropriate.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
