CVS Health reviews

Some of the downsides to working for CVS Caremark are growth opportunities. Corporately in some ways they are still a small Woonsocket company. Their tuition reimbursement is next to nothing and they do not spend a lot of time trying to grow their own employees skill sets. Corporately, it is a very political environment and promotions are often given out based more on who you get the opportunity to interface with rather than the work that you do.

Heavy use of offshore resources, severe lack of adequate system documentation, and an archaic development process can make it difficult to get a good grasp on the system. The CVS Enterprise Methodology used to work internal projects adds a ton of overhead and wasted time performing remedial tasks. Appropriate tools and automation to assist all IT groups is either severely lacking or non-existent. The system lacks any real architecture and is instead a bloody mess of hack jobs. Without the amazing work of the QA testing staff this system wouldn't still be running.
