The company overall was a great place to work.

Pros

Very good pay, great benefits.

Cons

The management is very judgmental and has their "favorites" that get away with lying and doing nothing. Don't quit if you expect to get your last paycheck.

Nothing is built to last.

Pros

They have an awesome cafeteria.

Cons

Nothing is built to last. None of the other developers are writing unit tests, and the architecture is pretty brittle. As a developer you will be tasked with gathering specifications as the business analysts don't do their jobs. As a developer you will be tasked with going through a five layer process to certify that a feature is ready to deploy - the testing team does not really test, only the business will test, and they are impossible to work with. As a developer you will be tasked with supporting code you did not write (you will be on-call), and no one else on the team serves on-call (business analysts, testers, managers). As a developer you will work nights and weekends in addition to regular hours, and you will not be the one promoted - Centene only promotes business analysts and managers.

Rapid growth and growing pains.

Business Outlook

Pros

A fast paced company that is growing.

Cons

Poor training. Managers are overworked and cannot spend the needed time to supervise well. Total focus on the new account with detrimental impact on current customers. Blaming employees for systemic failures due to lack of training, support and time to think about what needs to be done other than today's fire drill.
