Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Solutions reviews

There is no way to prepare or mold to the politics within this organization. You either are a very political (2-faced, deceptive, appearance over substance) person or you are not. If you are not - your skills, knowledge or work ethics mean nothing. Be aware - if you work here, you may be fired for doing things other people might consider smart. I.e. working from home after hours, making LinkedIn connections (take time to notice that people currently employed there have very weak LinkedIn Profiles), introducing yourself to others within the company (all introductions and interactions are directed).

Management primarily made up of lifers (15+ years at BCBSA), which results in a reluctance to hear opinions that differ from norm/adverse to change. This drives high performers/newer employees to grow frustrated and turnover at higher rate. Management is mostly made of up employees who were promoted into position not necessarily because they can lead/manage, but through tenure. Senior leadership in partnership with HR removed “remote” and “in office” designation for employees, substituting with wanting all employees to be in office for a certain percentage of time , which was met with mostly positive reactions. However, leadership is slowly backtracking this RTO approach. Leadership hides behind not having a policy for this and handling behind the scenes on a case by case basis. Lack of clarity/policy is leading to confusion and employee frustration. They lean on the ambiguity of the guideline as subterfuge. HR department is a mess. Dated policies stagnate internal opportunities/fair compensation, which causes high turnover. Those employees considered the lifers only stayed because there was a pension plan (not available for employees who start after a certain time in the mid-2000s). Overall, the company is good to work at if you want to skate by with little responsibility. If you want to make meaningful change, you should consider another company.
