Pros

Lots or autonomy. Lots of support. No layoffs. I am treated very well here. We provide great service to our members. We are very ethical. I am paid more than other companies would pay.

Cons

I don't think there is upward mobility for physicians. Physicians are required to maintain an outside practice.

Pros

The hours I work are reasonable

Cons

pay isn't competitive, they discourage you from asking ANY questions to other departments or to corporate, corporate training people are bullies and treat people with no respect at all, the company does not care about their employees, they promise big bonuses and deliver very little, you feel like you're back in the 80's, systems are outdated, nobody knows what they're doing and most everyone is looking for another job.

Pros

You get challenges every moment of every day. If you are single and can perform better when pressed, this is the the dream job for you. And you can get a lot done every day. And you will kind of feel you can accomplish a lot. Nice Cafeteria and a good selection of food.

Cons

1. Stressful work environment: lots of work to do in a very short period. during this "Agile" development process, you have to estimate your tasks in hours, not but days. You have to accomplish something in every hour or you will fall behind the schedule. No padding time scheduled for any unexpected events however they always happen. So every day, you feel like you are fighting a fire after another fire and there is no time for you to catch your breath. 2. "Meet at work and work at home": The teams are moving so fast and lots of meetings are scheduled to keep everyone on the same page. you spend 4 hours in meetings and your manager expect you to do 8 hours of work. So working overtime is a common thing here. 3. Lots of "slave drivers" in management. Managers, directors, and senior management want one thing from you: get the work done and do it faster...
