      Pros

      They have an awesome cafeteria.

      Cons

      Nothing is built to last. None of the other developers are writing unit tests, and the architecture is pretty brittle. As a developer you will be tasked with gathering specifications as the business analysts don't do their jobs. As a developer you will be tasked with going through a five layer process to certify that a feature is ready to deploy - the testing team does not really test, only the business will test, and they are impossible to work with. As a developer you will be tasked with supporting code you did not write (you will be on-call), and no one else on the team serves on-call (business analysts, testers, managers). As a developer you will work nights and weekends in addition to regular hours, and you will not be the one promoted - Centene only promotes business analysts and managers.

      Pros

      A fast paced company that is growing.

      Cons

      Poor training. Managers are overworked and cannot spend the needed time to supervise well. Total focus on the new account with detrimental impact on current customers. Blaming employees for systemic failures due to lack of training, support and time to think about what needs to be done other than today's fire drill.

      Pros

      Great campus, great location, reasonable pay and benefits. Looks awesome from the outside.

      Cons

      Chaotic mess of conflicting agendas, absent management, lack of planning, constant fire drills to keep "important" people happy. Whenever you call out inefficiencies, they just shrug and say it is "The Centene Way". As much as they are acquiring, the profitability can't stay forever. When the pendulum swings it will be ugly.
