Pros

Health Benefit Management is a relatable area of interest for many. Client Portfolio - Very Diverse Some flexibility in working from home

Cons

-Sacrifice of personal goals to meet professional goals. -Working hours are extreme preparing for a client's annual enrollment - can be 60+ hours weekly. -Employee Utilization is apparently reviewed but unsure what actually is done with these findings. -Doesn't appear to be accountability on the Project Management to ensure employee allocations are fair and not in excess. It was the expectation that Dev. Analyst, and even Client push back when not feasible. -Projects are not run as true IT Product lifecycle projects. Collaboration amongst teams vary -some work very closely while others tend to work independently and only interlock/engage during meetings and when requested to do so. -It is an bleeding edge environment (it is true consultancy) that can quickly make a person feel vulnerable and exposed due to high volume workload/fast paced which can lead to a negative employee experience. To thrive in this environment, one has to be comfortable in working in many unknowns and love change and not expect any thank you's in return.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
