Pros

None. Here are more words to fit the minimum word count so I can submit this review.

Cons

Do NOT work here. If I could give negative stars I would. This company has no direction, no one knows what they're doing, and people are leaving left and right. I was at Liberty for a little over three years and in that time I had 6 managers, only one of which was actually competent. Senior leadership is in complete denial that the coding direction they are attempting to take is working - they have been doing mass lay offs and reorgs since I started, eliminating ENTIRE job titles at a time. During these lay offs they have been pushing this thing called "GoForCode" which is a program designed to make close to all IT employees code. Great in theory, but executed terribly. They sent too many people to these boot camps and have no where for the newbie coders to go. There are people that still don't have placements after 6 months of their code school ending. I even asked my senior director about why so many people were sent to code school if they didn't need all the developers and the answer was "the boss likes big round numbers." This is coming from SENIOR leadership. I can't. The work is also dry and slow. Most people work from home regularly and nothing gets done. You live on skype calls and everything is catered to the east coast time zone, so if you're on the west coast looking to work here I hope you like 6 AM meetings and working sessions scheduled throughout lunch. Benefits are also bad, considering it's an insurance company. Medical plans get worse and worse each year with less and less coverage (ex - when I first started I was allotted 12 free visits to the chiropractor each year, now they're $40 a visit with no freebies). No orca card for Seattle employees and they just took away the free tea. Coffee and water only. At least you can add ice to your water if you feel fancy. Oh and the Seattle office is switching to "desk hoteling," so be ready to lug the entire contents of your cube in and out of a locker each day you go into the office. 5 stars on work/life balance because it is completely possible to not work at all and have no one notice.

Pros

There are no pros to working here. I just thought of one, you have a chance to work remotely so you don’t have to see your toxic, incompetent manager in person every day.

Cons

Toxic, hostile culture Favoritism to the extreme 50-60 hours a week work but get paid for 40 Being forced to give your manager a 9-10 on a survey when they don’t deserve it to avoid fear of retaliation Coworkers crying and having panic attacks on a daily basis Just everything
