Pros

The campus is a remarkably unique and stunning mix of themed buildings. Not being a public company removes short-term pressure for profit.

Cons

Upper management is extremely misguided. Constant unenforced errors for the last 5 years. Absurd decisions that should be business case studies. With ~5 people in the know, they announced a reorg for the entire 12k+ company to be enacted in 2 weeks (forget that internal data will break and we won't be able to bill customers). Then reversed course 6 months into the attempt. This healthcare company attempted to force a return to office at the height of the pandemic. People had to go on the news with blacked out faces out of fear. They begrudgingly reversed course after pressure from Dane County. Judy (CEO) proclaimed multiple times that healthcare software is more complex than rocket science and even made t-shirts to sell that anecdote. Judy and senior leaders have been around forever. They had success early, so they're surrounded by "yes men" that don't push back on the terrible ideas that get enacted. They pretend to be whimsical and benevolent when they're actually treating everyone like children and doing shady things. They're a near-monopoly with an 80 yr old CEO that refuses to admit she's lost her edge.
