This company seems determined to eliminate the best talent. Developers are being rushed through projects to 'dumb down' processes in order to be handed over to lower-paid employees. This is a great plan for fiscal downsizing, but feels very much like a ramped-up effort to outsource nearly all positions outside of management. While other tech companies are improving their working conditions and benefits to lure the very best people, this company does the opposite. Social experiment? I can't wait to see the results, and I predict they will fall far short of expectations. We have all been in situations where we have changed service providers for cell, internet, etc., because of poor (or unintelligible) support. Change Healthcare's customers are no different. No doubt this will come back to bite them - HARD. By then, those of us with years of healthcare IT experience will have moved on to companies with a realistic, long-term vision of corporate growth, and Change Healthcare will become the pariah of the healthcare field. Take heart, pendulums swing both ways. It's just a waiting game.

I have been trying to get another job, but no such luck yet. I suggest everyone who is unhappy or unsure about the future leave ASAP. As mentioned in other threads here, there are mass layoffs coming and everyone will be affected in one way or another. Start saving, or get another gig.
The company really is a modern day Lord of The Flies. If it is a social experiment, it's one with predictable outcomes as the company continues to show it doesnt care and use its fear soaked environment to bring out the worst in people. Rome rotted like a peach and so is Change healthcare.
