Pros

Workers on same level are usually friendly and helpful - we're all in the same boat. Facilities are nice. Health benefit is generous and inexpensive, although many believe it should be free, since this is a health insurance company.

Cons

Lack of transparency - management finds it necessary to lie or tell half-truths to the workers, despite on-going promises to increase "transparency". Management cares little for the opinions and concerns of the hourly and lower-salaried staff. Management talks to each other, not those below. Salary increases for all but the select few are almost insulting.

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.
