Pros

People are super nice. Benefits are great (401k, stock purchase plan, medical, dental, vision, the usual).

Cons

Stereo-typical "Corporate America" type culture. Office politics. Old school way of management. Office politics. Business formal attire. Office politics. I am an Applications Engineer, but the engineers and developers are undervalued and certainly underpaid. Centene has no real clue what the market value is for a Software Engineer. I feel bad for the young developers who come in expecting an "IT Shop", but in reality Centene is a "Business Analyst" shop. If you are an aspiring developer/software engineer/programmer DO NOT COME TO CENTENE. I repeat DO NOT come to CENTENE. If anything, just interview and get an offer as leverage for another company's offer. Centene thinks they're "agile", but in reality they have no idea what being "agile" really means. Centene uses a "corporate america" idea of agile. Last but not least, office politics.
