Pros

The pay and benefits in information technology are above average. Benefits were good as well.

Cons

No work from home option, ever. The CEO states this at every employee meeting - really an 80's work environment. Work life balance is non existent, I worked every holiday the last 3 years - that's why I left.. Done. More fire fighting than project work. Don't believe the good reviews on this site, centene has an active group to counter negative reviews, you will notice after every negative comment here the next few days many positive reviews are posted - these come from the image mgt group - not real people...

Pros

Growth means more open positions and the capacity for lateral and upward movement. Managed Medicaid is needed by the States and with the implementation of health exchanges even more growth is probable. The company invests in IT.

Cons

Overwork is the norm. Work life balance is poor. Management can typically focus on the new business and by default not on the current customers. Documentation of work processes and information sharing is poor. There simply is not the time to do this. Growth is outpacing the capacity of staff to do quality work, and management does not seem to have any accountability to find solutions that give employees the training, tools and bandwidth to succeed. Contracts are signed regardless of the capacity for the company to succeed at growing the business effectively. The management style is very top down, and blame is more the norm than is helpful.

Pros

There are so many Pros to working at Centene it would be impossible to even try with this limited space available. My suggestion is like some of the others on this post is to head over to the Centene website and see them for yourselves. I have had lots of jobs in my life because of various personal issues but quite honestly, this has to be the best place I have ever worked.

Cons

I have given it a lot of thought but can't think of any.
