Pros

Great benefits including Roth 401k & ability to work from home.

Cons

Absolutely awful management. I literally cried nearly every single day. Unfortunately this company has grown to fast, and unethical people were promoted into some of the highest positions. They continued to promote those that were frankly too incompetent to do a decent job and have ended up with management mostly made up of mindless zombies who can't think for themselves, and literally harass staff. Unless this job is the only thing keeping you from living on the streets, I would not recommend it, though you would likely be happier living on the streets.

Pros

pay, location and benefits. Lower management is great

Cons

Executive staff and HR have too much power; poorly managed and organized by executive. Don't care about morality and employees, all about making money. Too political and upper management is very "cliquey"

Pros

People are super nice. Benefits are great (401k, stock purchase plan, medical, dental, vision, the usual).

Cons

Stereo-typical "Corporate America" type culture. Office politics. Old school way of management. Office politics. Business formal attire. Office politics. I am an Applications Engineer, but the engineers and developers are undervalued and certainly underpaid. Centene has no real clue what the market value is for a Software Engineer. I feel bad for the young developers who come in expecting an "IT Shop", but in reality Centene is a "Business Analyst" shop. If you are an aspiring developer/software engineer/programmer DO NOT COME TO CENTENE. I repeat DO NOT come to CENTENE. If anything, just interview and get an offer as leverage for another company's offer. Centene thinks they're "agile", but in reality they have no idea what being "agile" really means. Centene uses a "corporate america" idea of agile. Last but not least, office politics.
