Pros

The people and the culutre are definitely amazing at this company

Cons

There is a lot of confusion from top down, there is no clarity on if the company is interested in transforming to a company that uses Agile and far as the projects are concerned there is no clear Scope that was developed for any project I've worked on and job security is high as C level employees have been let go

Pros

Incredible work life balance with remote work, Strong starting compensation (verticals for promotion are far stickier than competitors)

Cons

Horrifically disorganized operationally (partly due to Zelis' difficulty in pivoting business model to evolving regulations in pricing transparency and non-predatory pricing); Overly political workplace environment (very "proudly" woke); Core business KPIs for Zelis were showing a gradual decline as this business model will likely have a role in the healthcare payments space, but continued increases in regulation for payment transparency and non-predatory pricing will heavily shrink Zelis' business model which have already been scene (the company has had significant trouble pivoting which was ultimately the reason for much of our team getting favorable employment offers from competitors)

Pros

Great people! The excitement among "Zelots" is felt throughout the organization. Girl bosses run the organization, which is something amazing to see! This is a huge contrast to other companies I've worked for where most if not all the top positions are held by men. The CEO is dynamic, a clear communicator, and displays genuine care for the employees in the company. The company is made up of lots of smaller acquired companies and is working towards "One Zelis" to make sure all areas are aligned and part of the larger story of the company. There are growing pains with this, but I feel the company is doing a good job of bringing people together around this idea. Leaders at the company are supportive and do their best to make sure employees have opportunities to grow. Managers also do their best to make sure employees can prioritize their personal health and families. Great place for remote work. Some teams don't have this option due to the nature of their work, but for those who can work remotely this is a huge plus. Equipment provided by the company, good orientation, decent IT support. This is a camera-on, kind of company which allows people (even when working remotely) to know each other. Good medical, dental, etc. benefits / 401k / unlimited PTO / access to LinkedIn learning and other discounts.

Cons

The division I'm part of has kind of a "start-up" feel and is really unorganized and has a generally unclear feeling about process and roles. I am confused pretty much every day because there are no documented processes, and the things that are documented are all over the place and hard to find. You have to thrive on long-term/ongoing ambiguity to be okay working here, otherwise you will burn out quickly. People want to change this, but it doesn't seem there is consensus on how to change it. This is part of the growing pains I think, but it's not an easy environment in which to be effective. There are some teams that are super protected and will not answer questions, join client calls, or respond to production defects in a timely manner. This makes it difficult to move things forward for clients.
