Pros

Free health insurance, remote work

Cons

I've never written a review before but I have to stand in support of the other accurate reviews on this site and Indeed.com. I am an experienced professional and I never seen such nepotism, favoritism and unprofessionalism in my career - it was shameless - and all supported by upper management. I could not have been more disappointed. I was well-respected, enjoyed certain aspects of my job, was paid a moderate wage and received free health insurance from the company and I walked away after less than a year because nothing is worth giving up your self-respect. My manager was a gossip and spoke unkindly about my coworkers to me. Other managers denigrated subordinates publicly on Slack and all of this was accepted as this is the norm in this environment. From the Chief People Officer on down (yes, it's one of those companies with the cutesy titles), these people are bullies. Proceed with caution.

Pros

The mission to serve Medicare members well was clear, and the early culture reflected that. Teams were empowered, different leadership styles were welcomed, and people were trusted to solve problems in practical ways. There are still many talented and mission-driven people at the company who care deeply about the work and about members.

Cons

As the company grew rapidly, the culture began to change. Metrics have always been a focus, which is understandable in a performance-driven environment, but the emphasis increasingly shifted toward tracking activity and “effort” rather than measuring meaningful outcomes. Smaller assignments that once would have been handled with flexibility began to receive disproportionate attention, creating an environment that often felt more micromanaged than empowered. At the same time, accountability did not always appear to be applied consistently across leadership levels, which can be frustrating for teams that are being held to strict standards themselves. Frequent performance framework changes and constant iterations also created confusion and fatigue on the ground. In several cases, supervisor turnover concentrated under the same leadership should have been treated as a signal worth examining. Overall morale in parts of the organization has noticeably declined compared to earlier years.
