Pros

I loved the work and for 6 years was happy with what I did. I knew I made a difference and did my job well. Not many has the same skill set I did and there was always work to do.

Cons

1. It's an old white boys club. I say that as a white individual. It sucks that's how MFN rolls. They say they value diversity but they don't. They will have a token diverse person in an exec role but they're there to be a face, not make any changes or impact. 2. They pay really well but that hurts when you leave. 3. They layoff the good people and keep the undereducated white males. Why? See #1 above. 4. They don't want you if you are female and over 40. Think I'm lying? See the number of females 40+ who got hit in the January "reorganization." 5. HR is a joke. Talent acquisition couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map. So many excuses on why they didn't do their jobs. 6. MFN said the HealthNet employees needed to learn the Centene way and the Centene way would prevail. He lied. 7. They never entertained the idea of working from home. At all. Even a 25% WFH option would cut costs and improve morale.

Pros

Can negotiate rates upon hiring , great health Insurance plans, lots of opportunity to move around, all benefits/deductions, are exempt status are handled electronically. If your supervisor likes you, chances are you will succeed

Cons

Low balled upon hiring, micro-management in some departments, 30 min lunches in some departments, supervisors can block department transfers at free will, supervisors can fire and harass employees and HR does not help, hiring process from job fairs can be disorganized. Hours can change including weekends with no notice or objection (even if those aren’t the hours agreed upon per hiring), Sr Leadership/Mgmt walk around like everyone else is beneath them. Not fans of work from home prior to covid.

Pros

Never boring Fantastic teammates Willing to pay for training Does a lot for community Job with a good mission Growing fast Crucible to hone talent/get job experience to prepare for your final career stop

Cons

Product over people Leadership sets deadlines Psychological safety only in small pockets Very little incentive/rewards Surprising little opportunity to move around. Most positions are opened with someone in mind or leadership reorgs to fill. Only know how to put out fires, not prevent them. Very chaotic and fast paced. Very little trust and a lot of micro management Seem to struggle with planning. Nearly ever project in my large area over the last 7 years has only been successful through the heroics and generosity of the amazing employees to donate their personal time to meet commitments that their leadership made without consulting the . Repeatedly told the most important thing in our org is to hit our dates. Very little diversity of thought. Senior leaders hire people who have their worldview of leadership. People who voice different views of leadership or give feedback about the impact of the current style are marginalized and in some cases have been shuffled out There are frequent cycles of low employee engagement and lots of talented people leaving. Do not seem to understand how expensive and inefficient their current leadership style is.

Pros

Remote, flexible hours, decent pay

Cons

Difficult co workers who know less than you sometimes get paid more, passive aggressive attitudes from some managers

Pros

Always expanding company which creates career growth opportunities. Always something to work on. Very Technology forward.

Cons

Growth creates a ton of work. Time management.
