Great team of coworkers, short-sighted, narrow, executive management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented, supportive group of IT professionals that deeply care about their work and maintaining excellence even when supporting outdated, failing infrastructure.

Cons

Executive management unsupportive and obstructionary. Little or no support for upward movement. Even when promotions are earned, it can take 3 - 6 months for HR to implement the change in title and salary. Daily, subtle threats that IT jobs will be outsourced in the near future. While Premera speaks of work-life balance, many IT teams are understaffed and overworked by design.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are a driver and you want to lead there is opportunity. Work life and home life has a decent balance.

Cons

Once you decide to lead then you have bureaucracy that will drag and hinder you. Young management that does not understand how to motivate and lead. Progress is slow due to too many projects without good coordination, leadership is lacking, turn over of personnel is high. Technology is behind, tools are fairly up to date.
