Pros

My colleagues are great people to work with. I admire all of them, and each bring skills that really help with our mission. Working downtown Seattle was fun at first, but that novelty wore off quickly. Pay is okay for the social service field.

Cons

Unless you pay for your own parking, you'll be using public transit, which is unreliable and can take HOURS to get to/from work. "Leadership" (what they call themselves) doesn't care about employee happiness, and they make that clear. Feel free to express your concerns to HR, but the only result will be getting targeted by management. There is no confidentiality between employees and supervisors, any private matter will be the next days gossip. Zero flexibility with your time. Zero work/life balance. This job could be performed remotely, like most insurance companies do, but coordinated care does not allow it for any reason. Unless you're "leadership", then rules don't apply. There are a lot of very talented people who work here, but they are quickly leaving because of the micromanaging, intense workloads and lack of trust with management. I could go on and on, but I hope this gets the point across.

Pros

The working people are great.

Cons

Too many managers, directors, and VPs. Incompetent (lack of IT experience/lack of business knowledge) managers/directors too often get promoted when there's a lack of progress. A culture that all projects succeed (even the failed ones) to keep the bonuses and promotions flowing...pat my back, I'll pat yours. Very discouraging environment for the real workers who get stepped on by their boss to move up.

Pros

Company is a start up in the NYS medicaid field, so there is lots of opportunity for growth. Pay is a pro. New office space.

Cons

Lack of good leadership. The job you applied for may not be the job you add up performing. Lack of communication. Unprofessional work environment. Company does not know NYS healthcare regulations. 1-2 workers quit almost weekly. Lack of training. Inconsistent.
