Work from home. Direct managers are good people who try to do the right thing in the face of a lot of BS from above.
Cons
There isn't a strategy in IT. Business and IT leaders are not aligned. There is lots of talk and powerpoints but no real commitment, investment or follow though. All the promises made in the beginning of the year have evaporated. We keep rebranding the next big thing after the previous attempt went nowhere.

Thank you for leaving us a review, we appreciate your feedback.
Magellan has excellent paid time off and decent benefits. Until recently, it was a friendly and supportive place to work with excellent camaraderie between peers and management. Those days are gone replaced by a culture where stroking egos and shameless self exaltation gets individuals ahead.
Cons
-Since the arrival of a new CTO and upper IT management staff, Magellan is losing a considerable amount of their absolute top IT talent at an alarming rate.
-The vacating talent is taking years of domain and application specific knowledge in the heavily regulated healthcare industry with them.
-Rumors are that over half of developers are actively looking for employment elsewhere.
-Magellan developer staff is being recruited heavily on LinkedIn and by recruiters who have placed former Magellan IT development staff at better paying jobs elsewhere.
-Much of the development talent who haven't left yet are stuck maintaining major system code written on obsolete or dated technology.
-The IT staff remaining is becoming management and analyst heavy.
-Constant reshuffling of teams is taking place to try to cover the holes left by the talent leaving leading to excessive stress on developers.
-Teams aren't stable making it hard for teams to develop effective chemistry.
-The implementation of agile adopted is leading to additional stress on development staff.
-Seems like each individual who leaves ends up siphoning off one or two more IT workers later to their new company.
