Pros
Large company with lots of opportunity if you work in or around an office location.
Cons
Sadly what most people have said in recent reviews is true. In addition to the new policy which prohibits people managers from working from home even though that's what they were hired as, anyone currently working from home who is next in line for a people manager position (succession planned as such), is no longer eligible unless they're willing to work in an office (if they're close to one) or relocate entirely. Many top performers do not live near an Anthem office and are now being told they cannot grow within the company unless they uproot their families to a location with an office. It's an extremely antiquated policy that does nothing but kill morale for employees who have been loyal to this company for many years. There have been countless studies over the years proving that flexible work arrangements and the ability to work from home actually increases productivity and overall happiness and wellbeing of employees. It's unfortunate that Gail does not take any of that into account. For that reason, Anthem will lose wonderful and hardworking employees to their competitors. My advice to anyone seeking a job at Anthem - look elsewhere. Now is not the time. Morale is at an all time low, teams are sparse to save a dollar, and in addition our company CEO is further sacrificing the work/life balance and quality of life aspect of many employees in the company. This is not just specific to my department. I work with departments all around the company and the sentiment is the same. Look elsewhere... I know I am.
