Pros
The pay was good for the work I was doing, and paid-time-off was very generous. Blue Shield does promote a work life balance. Work was challenging, but not overly exciting. The people were generally friendly, but only within your own department.
Cons
There's a lot of inefficiencies and red tape. Therefore, it takes a long time and a lot of patience to accomplish something. Departments are very silo-ed, so very little internal communication takes place. People from other departments will be suspicious of you when you approach them initially, but generally they are cooperative once you get past that wall.
