The inclusive culture and great professionals. Very good for beginners to nurture and learn. Friendly team members and understanding leaders.

This company is not the best pay master out there. Very limited growth in career. Few leadership are only goal oriented and not at all people oriented.

...f new hires are doomed once they get into this company. Everything is hardcoded. Very poor pay and benefits. No job training, nobody knows how to work. These people are just hiring for 6-7LPA and then BOOM! You will get 6-12% hike next year and then after two years, you become a liability as they cannot pay you more. They will indirectly tell you to go! But BAM! You've got not relevant experience to go for any other job!

The work at Cerner is of immense importance and directly impacts patient care.

Dislikes

1. The salary and compensation are extremely below the market bracket. 2. The management does not provide hikes and promotions to deserving candidates and uses the excuse of the Oracle merger. 3. Even after one obtains the highest performance rating, the hike is the same as the base rating. 4. Even if you discuss this with the management they suggest looking for a job OUTSIDE Cerner if money is important (I don't know any professional for whom money is NOT important). 5. There is less/no scope for learning and development whatsoever. 6. The saddest part of it all is that these issues started in 2019 and went downhill from 2020 (since Covid). Work culture, Care for Employees, Compensation, everything is now completely gone.

Healthcare company and hence job security is there. Good salary for a fresher. Benefits such as health insurance which covers parents, spouse and children. Amenities such as a gym (if you are working from office) Company culture is good and encourages diversity.

Dislikes

Not recommended if you want to grow technically. Your experience will vary based on the team you work with. In most teams, associates get aligned to more support work than development. The learning opportunity is very less. Too many internal technologies. Management is not great. HR takes forever to respond.
