Pros
Good salary and benefits, convenient locations for commuting, part of Anthem and it’s Diversified Business Group, but not at all aligned....doesn’t seem to fit in.
Cons
Culture, Parochialism, Incompetent Mid tier management. Many in mid tier and VP level management have been with the company from its inception, some for 15 years and are stale, unmotivated, and focused on preserving the status quo. Not a company that invites new ideas or approaches. They have a unidimensional business model but nothing that supports a vision for the future. It is unclear how they fit in to Anthem’s DBG business model. Some in management have no insight, motivation, or discipline to recognise emerging trends, or the important skills needed to be healthcare competitive. It’s about the status quo and preserve the present. Succession is based on who is there the longest and who has towed the line. Second hand information has it that the General Counsel of the company petitioned staff in a career advancement and mentoring program to submit positive reviews to Glassdoor to help push up the company rating, so if you see glowing reviews take with grain of salt. Some departments use the kids to run the show because of loyalty to status quo and managers, Be advised in some departments there is very very strong gender bias and restricted social circles. Look at the .org charts. Do not be fooled, this is not a technology company.
