Pros

Company commitment to providing affordable healthcare for all Californians. Company generosity and a genuine concern for the community. Medical, Vision, and dental benefits are decent.

Cons

Poor work life balance for exempt employees Conflicting and unrealistic expectations from Management (may be unique to my department) Unnecessary duplication of work due to poor or non-existent communication. Poor use of available technology Unprofessional behavior at the director level Do as I say not as I do mentality (management sets a poor example for employees to follow) Too much bureaucracy makes accomplishing anything slow and difficult. Fear of speaking up for yourself or about anyone due to the possibility of retaliation. (I have actually observed my director retaliating against someone for speaking up) Hostile work environment (my unit has lost 25% of its staff since Jan 2011.)

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
