Independence Blue Cross Reviews

Management lies a lot. They promised during my interview that I could work from home 5 days a week, if I wanted to. Then a year later, they revoked the promise. Now, to work in the office, I have to spend $5000 a year in part-time, $5,000 a year in after school care, and $10,000 a year for summer camp. When they broke their promises, they didn't increase my salary. The office is loud, cold, and uncomfortable. The rationale for "return to the office" was greater collaboration. But we are obviously collaborating well because we achieved our revenue goals this year, and 75% of surveyed employees enjoyed the remote work policy. They ignored our responses and our needs and demanded in-person work anyway. I used to love working at IBX, but now I don't believe in the organization.

Companies can and do implement RTO policies, sure, that is their right. But IBX did it in the worst way possible. It's also conveniently done at the same time that Highmark is entering the Philadelphia market, so maybe this is a soft layoff?? If they buckle this much before Highmark even starts taking customers, I can't imagine how many more layoffs there will be in the near future. They also took away the free lunch so you're paying for the commute in and out of the city, parking, lunch, and the Philly wage tax. It's literally an indirect paycut for everyone. Like I said it used to feel like the company cared about their employees, but absolutely not anymore. My advice to anyone reading this for interviews: Do not work here.
