Pros

If you want to learn about the health care space, this is a great place to start Some smart people Lots of opportunities to learn They are a not-for-profit and have a foundation, which makes them a better place to work than other big insurance companies

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy and politics Slow moving High performers are not rewarded and leave frustrated Low to medium performers can stay under the radar and work there for decades or even get promoted above high performing peers Decisions by committee Individuals not empowered to do their jobs or suggest better ways of doing things

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.
