Pros

The salary is competitive and you can negotiate with them. The yearly bonus is nice when the company does well. Health insurance isn't bad. They have a high deductible plan, but load up an HSA card that you can use for medical expenses.

Cons

I saw a couple of concerning privacy issues in 2019 including the public exposure of PII of over 200 users (names and emails). Another individual at the company emailed claims and payment data for 25 users to a university researcher outside the company. Legal and privacy got involved in both cases and then the issues were buried. Both employees are still working at the company. I brought up both issues with the CEO and chief security and privacy officers, but never heard back. Cambia is a highly siloed and can be a highly political environment. The CEO and COO have arguably wasted tens of millions of subscriber dollars building a cloud platform (Janus) and on a flagship product (Journi) that lacks a discernible value proposition. In addition, leadership cannibalized other products like Health Pass and MedSavvy to try and add some value to Journi. Due to multiple leadership failures in my group, we lost a VP, a Director and a couple of software engineers in a few months time. When I was there I really believed that Cambia had high ethical standards. After my experience there, I was saddened to find that we did not end up sharing the same values.

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.
