Former Employee – worked at Cerner full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Good health insurance, lost of brilliant and talented engineers
Cons – Long long hours are expected, night and evening work is regular and you still have to be in at 8 am the next day. The regions split in infrastructure is a nightmare. A few of the new execs came from Cerner works and run their teams like a master would run a slave ship. No room for error. Many are fired for simple mistakes. Not nearly enough engineers to cover the backlog of work. Server reclamation status alone is around 8 months behind schedule. Most good associates leave after 6 months to a year
Advice to Senior Management – Clean house in the NA region. Leasdership is inept.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Cerner full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Easy to get a job
Cons – There is really nothing good to say about this company. The executives are inept, people are promoted by who they know not by the quality of their work, huge turnover, no support from team leads or managers, no room for individual thinking, no time for eating, sleeping or having any kind of a life outside of work. 48 hour minimum work week to get a "satisfactory" review, minimal raises, no raise with advancement - you get a "promotion" and then have to prove yourself in the role for a year and then you might get paid for your work.
Advice to Senior Management – Care about and invest in your current employees.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Cerner full-time for more than a year
Pros – Rather not share any pros. The cons FAR outweigh the pros.
Cons – Very cult like, kool aid drinking company. It's the most pretentious atmosphere you could imagine. If you have self respect avoid working here. Everyone acts like the CEO is a brilliant, powerful, moving man. In all reality, he's a socially awkward jerk who had a good idea with two other people. If you don't constantly call attention to yourself, your work will not be recognized.
Advice to Senior Management – Recognize your employees. Just because someone doesn't brag about the work they do, doesn't mean they don't do good work. Stop being so pretentious.
