Pros

Remote work policy Pay scale There are pockets of excellent teams and management

Cons

Disconnect between the Exec/VP levels and the Directors and below leaves Directors to run the company. This combined with a heavy political environment leads to many silos of inefficiencies. Insurance benefits are marginal. When working at another health insurance company, all employees were offered the best insurance the company offered. There are some horrible Managers/Directors that are allowed to thrive in their errant ways.

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.
