Pros

+Flexible work environment (for now) +Acceptable work/life balance (for now) +Lots of career opportunities +Lots of room to learn and grow +Remote work is great but will be going away soon +Job seems stable, only one round of layoffs for the duration of my employment

Cons

-When I first joined Cambia, every employee I met had been there for 5-10+ years and everybody was happy and productive. Many of these people are gone now, and most of them not amicably. Take from that what you will. Turnover has become suspiciously high in the last ~2 years. -All the bad aspects of corporate culture are creeping in and creeping in fast. Mandatory RTO, monitoring work output, heavy top-down business model. Work culture used to be very relaxed and friendly, but definitely not anymore. -Its senior management's way or the highway, they are NOT open to suggestions or alternatives -Monitors employee AI usage (whether or not it makes sense to use it in your current projects or role) and you will be considered a "low performer" if you don't use the AI for some arbitrary amount that some suit in a board room dictated. I was told point blank by management to just query it a certain number of times per day to not end up on their reports. -Due to the nature of many positions, you will expected to be on-call 24/7 for certain periods of time. This worked well with full time work from home but now with RTO you'll have to clock in for a full work day then drive back home and do more work at home. -LOTS of sudden changes to work processes and expectations, most of them completely nonsensical and definitely do not make your job easier. -Use of fear tactics to motivate their employees. On top of bludgeoning their employees with AI, middle management has begun weird sermons on the necessity of 8 hour productive days, and the rapidly shifting expectations of the job market. -The list of expectations and asks are growing, but definitely not the amount of support or help each team gets -All these negative changes correlate pretty closely to when CEO Jared Short and CIO Laurent Rotival began their roles. Accept a role at your own risk while these two maintain their current positions.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I see that you are no longer with Cambia, and I hope your next career step is a great fit for you. You mentioned work/life balance, plentiful career opportunities, and room to learn and grow as positives about your time at Cambia. I'm glad to hear that! You also expressed concern about our evolving hybrid work environment, the use of AI, and frequent changes. It is indeed a time of deep transformation for Cambia and for our entire industry, as we keep pace with unprecedented changes in our lines of business, industry consolidation, and rapid technological advances. Despite those pressures, we're laser-focused on supporting our members, and bringing our brand of non-profit, community-based health insurance to as many people as possible. Thank you again for your feedback, and please feel free to reach out to me directly if you'd like to share more. Elizabeth Hall VP Employee Experience elizabeth.hall@cambiahealth.com

Pros

Some of the smartest bright-minded people in IT work there, or used to. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

The company appears to be in a constant state of reorganization, creating ongoing uncertainty about job security and contributing to low employee morale. This lack of stability has led to confusion, shifting priorities, and an overall lack of focus, which is reflected in the high turnover currently seen within the IT organization. This is especially disappointing because the company was once known for attracting and retaining IT professionals who built long, successful careers there. Leadership appears to lack a clear, unified vision, and that disconnect starts at the highest levels of the organization. Compared with the previous CEO, who despite his shortcomings was widely respected and viewed as an approachable leader, the current leadership feels much more removed from employees. There was once a stronger sense that executives understood and were connected to the day-to-day experiences of the workforce. Today, that connection feels significantly diminished, leaving many employees with the impression of a growing divide between the C-suite and the people doing the work. Honestly, it's quite sad what has happened to Cambia.
