      Pros

      None - I wish I could have 20 good words for this company :(

      Cons

      All - Outdated Systems, Outdated IT platform/tools, Horrible Documentation, Zero Development High-School Graduate managers/directors in the IT department, Even though previous review boast about the new changes, there are none, and there is no structure in place. Full time employees are reprimanded, while good for nothing contractors are favored by managers No new openings for full time programmers, while good for nothing freshers are hired as contractors through Indian outsourcing firm. Remember Molina Employee VS. Congizant. Horrible work environment in IS. The managers run around like imbesiles with notepads to check up on the status of the projects, as there is no effective project management tracker to keep track of the projects.

      Growing pains but on balance a pretty great place to work

      Pros

      I'd like to preface this by saying that a lot of the reviews here are 2 years old and Healthfirst is a very different company than it was in 2010. i have been here 4 months and it is one of the best jobs I have had in years because of the commitment of management to work together to forge solutions and the willingness to look at new ways of doing things even when it may be a bit uncomfortable. great place to work if you like to break things down and fix things.. not a good place if you like status quo and limited mental effort - you have to think on your feet here but I love that! High opoints: Opportunity to grow inter- and intra-departmentally Interesting and complex projects to work on whcih have a direct impact on the company Great training dept High ethical standard Work life balance is manageable NY office is great location and physical environment Highly diverse workforce and managment Company is highly respected in their market Benefits are very good with excellent dollar for dollar up to 6% 401k match after 1 year

      Cons

      Growing pains coming from being a small company medium size fairly rapidly so transactional processs have not always adapted to current needs efficiently Organizational and operational transitiions may not be easily embraced by those employees who pre-date the changes Some of the technology could be a bit more current ( i.e IM and texting) but this may be limited to HIPAA regulations.

      Pros

      The team we are building is passionate and believe in what we are trying to accomplish. I can to this site to kick off what I hope is the use of glassdoor as a useful tool for feedback.

      Cons

      The old ways are slowing us down still and scaring us not to believe in the task at hand.
