Pros

The high-growth environment enables you to be innovative in IT. New ideas are welcomed as we continue to add more value to the software solutions provided to employees as well as our members and providers. The expectation is to be more efficient year after year. As the company grows you are able to expand your contributions and continue growing with the company. If you are ready to be a leader in a fast-paced, high-growth environment then Centene is the place for you to grow your career.

Cons

As the fastest growing company in the Fortune 500 last year, Centene experiences the normal challenges associated with high growth. Meeting these challenges is not for everyone. However, if you're interested in a fast-paced environment then this environment is perfect for you. If not, you may become dissatisfied with your job and submit a negative review on this website.

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.
