Pros

Has a good foundation that supports both beneficial and at times cutting edge projects. May not be as cut-throat as other insurers, since it remains not-for-profit. At times, you can have the opportunity to expand the scope of your work, thereby making it more interesting, if you are so inclined, and have the skill set to do so. But you need to identify such opportunities yourself, and be your own advocate to engage in such work.

Cons

Merit increases fare very low. Penny pinching on almost everything, including appropriate tools to get the job done. Way behind the curve on moving vast stores of data out and converting to information usable at enterprise leve. ; however sense is that this is not much better, nor worse than majority of health insurers, with exception of 1-2 leaders.

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.
