Pros

Good pay and benefits for Portland market. Some good people who needed a paycheck landed there. Good location for bike commuting from east or west side. Close to downtown and river front so you can get away from the office as often as you like (and you'll need that).

Cons

Finance is managed by former consultants and others with no formal finance training or experience, with hilarious results. There is a lot of made up stuff that you wouldn't find in any other finance department anywhere and will leave you shaking your head. Lack basic controls so they have an army of people whose only job seems to be to find mistakes and create a pool of people they can fire when anything goes wrong. In short, they haven't a clue what they're doing. The work is not meaningful and there are no clear roles and responsibilities. The top guys in finance like to order people around and are constantly reorganizing and changing your responsibilities without a care what employees think. Turnover is high. Morale is low. Overall the company is hemorrhaging cash in their core business all the while investing huge sums (hundreds of millions) on goofy health apps that nobody uses and other pet projects of the top executives. Non-profit healthcare has huge profits that they have to spend on frivolous things instead of reducing premiums, so it's a huge contributor to the cost of healthcare in this country. So don't be fooled by the "non-profit" banner and all the advertising about how "member-focused" they are. They have an army of people dedicated to reducing what claims they'll pay and they could care less about people and their medical conditions. It's a national shame.

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.
