Learn alot about the industry and their willingness to train new employees on the companies dime. Allscripts was a fantastic company to work for when they followed the concepts and tried and true methods of the great John McConnell. Once Mr. Glen took over everything went downhill.
Contras
Incompetent senior management and Glen Tullman's interest in pumping and dumping Allscripts. Allscripts was always represented as the superior company and was just recently bought out by Misys (a struggling company at best). The biggest downside to working at Allscripts is that the CEO is nothing more than a cheerleader. He blows alot of smoke and rarely delivers on his promises. AHS regularly releases new versions of software that has never been beta tested - a great example is the V.11 of the EMR that has basically flopped since its release.
