Pros

The company seems genuinely invested in its resources with solid benefits and compensation. My managers have all been available and insightful. Direction, while not initially clear, is always a phone call or IM away.

Cons

Strategies seem to shift on a daily basis and from leader to leader. It would be one problem if it were constantly shifting to the "hot new thing" but it vacillates between existing strategies without proper investment to realize benefits.

Pros

Solid company, room to grow if you like corporate stuff.

Cons

Weak management. Both managers I had were incredibly weak. Ask questions, first one would simply write back a crappy email, asking me what the answer was, since she didn't know. Act like she was training me by making me go find answers. But she got promoted. 2nd manager was so scared he would whisper on the phone, since he didn't want to have anyone at corporate hear him. Again, could not answer questions, umm, let me get back to you that, then never would. Again, he was promoted as well.

Pros

- Culture is moving in the right direction. I attribute this to having a new CEO and CIO. - Although dependent on the manager you report to, excellent work/life balance. - Highly technological company and moving to position us as a true technology company. - Compensation is better than what I have seen/experienced at other companies. - I can finally feel good about utilizing my skills for a company with a noble objective. - Upper management doesn't play the "need to know game". Ask a question and you get a straight answer even if you may not like the answer.

Cons

To be honest, I do not have any cons at this point. Granted, I have only been at Express Scripts for a short time, but from what I gather, Express Script's ideals and goals are aligned with my own ideals and goals.

Pros

What can I say Express Scripts has really turned things around. I joined the company with a lot of anxiety and now that I have been here a while I absolutely love my job. No seriously I turned down Google for an engineering manager interview today without thinking. The company is really promoting an engineering culture that is obsessed with automation and doing things right rather than quick. They have removed roadblocks on new technology, and compliance that you typically see in huge fortune 100 companies. Schedules are quite flexible depending on your manager. The projects are very interesting especially as we transform with lots of ability to really make an impact quickly. Embracing agile has promoted work life balance (if you want that) or if you want to work more projects you can get involved with other teams.

Cons

There is lots and lots of ambiguity meaning that you have to be quite good at just driving in a direction and expecting that you may have to backtrack. Building an engineering culture is hard especially when you are dealing with the past leadership teams mistakes that allowed the company to be known as one of the worst to work for. The company is still heavily network driven, ensure that you are promoting technical leadership rather than the good old boys style of leadership that earned us the worst company title. Be wary of transformation hold outs, if you interview ask heavily about what the team is doing to embrace the transformation. If they don't know what your talking about I would run the other direction. Oh yeah there's also only 6 holidays which is terrible, but 20 days PTO so oh well.

Pros

The customer service and efficiency here is top of the line . We strive to get you want you need at a pace that is unmatched.

Cons

Management is not a very good trait. Need better managers to equally give duties. Need a more efficient system .
