Pros

- Pay is ok, and even in bad financial year we got bonuses - Team members really want to help each other success - There are sometimes lots of open positions if you want to move, but leadership positions especially tend to go to external hires

Cons

- IT has become rudderless with priorities changing constantly because of senior leadership's inability to make decisions - Org changes at least every 6 months with layoffs each time - Multiple projects at once due to staying on old systems way too long with impossible deadlines - Promotions are nonexistent unless you threaten to quit. - Contractor conversions are very rare. If you join as a Contract to Hire be prepared to be a contractor for at least 2 years. - Government cuts may impact medicare and medicaid contracts

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.
