Pros

Decent benefits but your premium is rather high considering they underwrite it, 401k match 3%, generous PTO.

Cons

Former Health Net employees over 45 are being let go under the guise of reduction-in-force. There are over 30 let go in the 8 months, most with over 10 yrs. Then they hire under-30 yr olds with meager experience for the same job within 30 days. Telecommuting used to be common at Health Net, work/life balance was great, company culture great. But now it's like working in 1950s.

Senior project manager/scrum master

Pros

Paychecks don’t bounce. Pay scale is set to LA which is great in Rancho Cordova. There are some really fine people working here. Dedicated, diligent, honorable folks.

Cons

As is often the case, technical managers full of unwarranted confidence in their abilities. My current manager is an absolute buffoon who has a very high opinion of his competencies. It’s killing the team’s morale and making us look bad. Given that his greatest skill is taking credit for the work of others and doing exactly what his VP demands, his tenure is assured.

Pros

Pay, Benefits, Vacation, many nice colleagues,

Cons

Useless, negitive, nonproductive are CLUELESS and have no real understanding of government business they continue to hire externally in hopes of finding someone that does. Once hired into a "certain role" promotion within is nonexistant - - Subordinates are viewed as disposable pawns - - which accounts for the revolving door.
