Pros
Family oriented, with a work-life balance and flexibility with a focus on diversity, human rights (women, LGBTQ, BIPOC) and learning. Great environment for intellectually curious, self-learners.
Cons
You have to be comfortable with change. There is constant change, but that is in most IT and healthcare related corporate jobs.
Advice to Management
There are projects where Agile frameworks such as Scrum (example: just in time planning) and Kanban would work well. Also, improvement is needed in holding teams accountable for scope and deadlines. Agile may help with this as far as empowering developers and teams to decide when something is done and to commit to focused timeboxing, so at least something is delivered, rather than nothing.

Pros
Really tremendous diversity, respect amongst employees and company is dedicated to philanthropy.

Advice to Management
CEO should find new Technology and Data leadership which will allow him to compete in a fairly competitive landscape.

Pros
BCBSNC has an incredible culture of inclusivity, creativity, and caring. Working there feels like working with your family. That can sometimes create struggles, but overall you get the best our of the work due to the diversity. BCBSNC is one of the favorite organizations for whom I've ever worked. Whether at the top or frontline, most employees give their all each day and you feel that when you are there. If you are thinking about it - GO BLUE!
Cons
If you are looking for an organization where you can grow because all the 'issues' are not solved, BCBSNC is for you. I realize that does not sound like a con, but it can be if you are looking to get clear direction every day in your work, this is not your organization. If you thrive on new experiences this IS your place!
Advice to Management
Hang in there and keep the ship steady as the management changes.
