Too many employees are leaving or planning to leave

Pros

- sometimes you can work from home - office perks like fruit, cookies, etc.

Cons

- low salaries compared to other "cool" companies - the technologies you might work on are pretty limited due to the fact the the company customizes Adobe products - no transparency on how the decisions are taken - the management says the company structure is horizontal and that anyone can participate in the decision making process but in reality whoever is closer to the management get to decide and the rest just have to deal with it

Terrible middle managers

Pros

If you're lucky to get a good manager, you'll love it but they are very rare. The pay and benefits were decent.

Cons

Low morale and focus on bottom line vs satisfaction of customers and employees. The culture of the workplace is very stressful and not conducive to building team work.

Pros

Market leader in health insurance software. Opportunity to work with major health plans across the country. Lots of different positions to choose from and grow within the organization (e.g. consulting, sales, produce SMEs, hosting, etc.)

Cons

Constant reorganization has causes confusion among employees. Lost our focus on provide high-quality consulting services and healthcare leadership. Developing into a "body shop" that chases any available work. Lack of process/procedures in selling and delivering services. Little training to new hires other than simple orientation.
