Pros

Better pay than most companies in this area. Company is financially stable. Retirement is amazing. They just give you money every year in your pension based on how much money you make (17.5% of what you made that year). The company has moved to telecommuting so most likely you will be able to work from a home office. Unless we have a giant backlog, you are encouraged to travel during open season to represent GEHA at different insurance fairs around the country. You are still working but it is a nice break to look forward to once a year.

Cons

The mandatory overtime you may be required to work does not help you obtain a work-life balance. We just finished 4 years of mandatory overtime for most of the company. It could happen again--so be mindful when you apply. You almost have to get hired in through an entry level position and none of those are very fun right now.

Pros

Strong brand identity and mission-oriented culture on a corporate level. The work feels meaningful and is very rewarding.

Cons

Technical debt is gargantuan, while development methods and task management are floundering. Individual initiative is not rewarded, and self-starters will be frustrated by opaque or arbitrary performance metrics, petty infighting and favoritism. Very tough on neurodivergent folks due to some choice anti-mental health sentiments, and deeply conservative gender expectations.
