Pros
People, beautiful campus, flexible work environment, casual dress code, dogs on campus, fruit/snacks/coffee/soda - but they may be gone forever after covid budget cuts.
Cons
Benefitfocus has lost its luster over the last several years. The direction has been erratic, the leadership has been wishy-washy with constant re-orgs, building moves, shifts in products, misplaced spending and more. The stock price tells a bleak story. It declined more than 60% over the last year, well before Coronavirus closed the economy. The declining stock price and recent layoffs have little to do with Covid, although the timing is convenient to help cover the business' descent. Communication is poor. Senior leadership seems to think they communicate transparently, but it's not clear, timely, or transparent. Customer Number 1 is catchy, but associates don't feel like they're number 1. Saving money seems to be number 1. The uncertainty does bring associates together, causing them to form strong relationships to figure out how to do daily work, but that uncertainty doesn't help the business or anyone's career. Can Benefitfocus turn around? Perhaps, but not with the current CEO.
