Blue Shield Of California reviews

If you do not want to work 70 hours/week, get out. If you are not type A, get out. There is absolutely no 'human' interactions from the new leadership - answers need to be yes, anything you say, or you will be managed out of the company. People are used up and spit out - there is always another in line waiting to fill a position. Minimal communication from leadership above manager, and when there was - it always came with a "twist" on the truth; wording of messages was VERY careful so it could later become the polar opposite of the message.

1. Culture is terrible: - Every exempt works ridiculous hours (up and down the ladder) so no one gets any credit for it because it needs to come from C-level even if they are doing it themselves. - Morale is always low. People don't need to be psyched about work, but coming in shouldn't make you weigh the upsides of alcoholism - There is a brain freeze at Director level - VP's I have met seem to have it together given their high level of stress which leads to; - The high level of stress for everyone else. It all trickles down. - The place doesn't move without Director level sign off and typically requires a whole other project to make them understand. 2. Technology is not bad, but the IT Dept. is way too slow.**I am not in IT**: - Once you go through the nightmare of getting funding and priority you can usually get what you want. What is nice, is that the failure of IT is usually so often that when something gets done at twice the timeline and 3x the cost, no one seems to care. 3. Failure, regardless of how much time and effort went into the entire project process, is not tolerated. The biggest goal we miss is about taking calculated risks. A failure gets you fired - end of story. The lessons learned is make the scope as small as possible and say you won't be able to get it done from the start 4. Good people are running for the hills at this place - the only lucky thing going for BSC right now is that Kaiser is the only competitor in SF, so they don't lose a whole lot. But the world of Skype and instant communication will make telecommuting so easy that people can leave BSC and stay in the beautiful Bay Area working from home.
