I used to work at Cerner for a couple years. Honestly working at Cerner was a decent experience. Biggest private employer in Kansas City so everyone knew about the company. Huge campuses across Missouri and Kansas. Huge gym in HQ campus.

I was aware of this VA project at the time, although I was no part of it. I knew it was going to take years and we basically had no competition. Shortly before I left the company we got a new CEO from Google (Health?). Now looking back this guy was probably brought specifically for preparing for the Oracle acquisition.

We were a team of 5. After the Oracle acquisition everyone left. That team basically disappeared. Three of my teammates left for another IT company in Kansas. Things must have gotten really tough after the acquisition.

I supported Cerner RHEL servers for 6 years and Cerner is a joke.

Everything has to run as root.

All their scripts are Korn shell hacks from the 90s that have been carrier over.

Their god awful Kickstart scripts were written in stone even if you prove that there were better ways.

Cerner controlled the root password.

Cerner123!

They hard coded passwords with ROT13.

No wonder Oracle bought them.
