Pros

In it's earlier days, Parata was full of energy, enthusiasm, innovation, and great collaboration amongst employees. I'm sure that scenario still exists in some departments and if you plan to go to work there - make sure you are part of a team that embodies the original spirit that the company was founded on.

Cons

After Parata acquired McKesson APS, what was once a fun and exciting company to work for became just another place to work. The pay was always fair and above average in several positions; however, the fun left and most employees ended up spending more time on "CYA" activities than on advancing the company through innovation. Parata is still a good place to work but don't expect the lively environment found in many smaller healthcare technology companies.

Pros

They have a company they are stable

Cons

Poor health plan if you go above and beyond by doing overtime that will go below and low by paying you only half you hourly rate for hours over 40. If your in training they won’t even bring in water and snacks but thy will have board meetings and leave food out with a sign that says don’t touch its for board members only. They will make you do summit training in Durham over the weekend on salary so they don’t have to pay extra. Most of what they do for employees gives me a sensation of being given the bird.

Pros

There are some nice associates of course.

Cons

Worked in several departments, and every one of them has the same problems. Here are a few. Cliquish, unprofessional, bad behaviors rewarded, bullying, managers/supervisors misleading statements, convenient and partial truths, white lies taken to new level, limited upward growth, took our 401k away, out-performers get more work and little/no acknowledgement, subprime performers get rewarded thru promotions/raises/merit increases, no training programs to speak of, thrown into the job - swim or drown - knowledge is tribal - tribes must like you to share anything, many/most coworkers will misguide you and work actively to make one look bad, HR is a monster, NEVER EVER answer any questions leading to "What do you think about..." - will be used against you, NEVER EVER present an idea unless you have it completely fleshed out, basic job, simply do the work and keep your head down and you'll be working at the same wage and same place as when you were hired unless you're best friends with the manager/supervisor/boss. NOT LGBTQ friendly whatsoever.
