Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Premera Blue Cross full-time for more than a year
Pros
Good Benefits and free parking. That's about it.
Cons
The information security engineers work every day under the fear of being let go by the management. The information security director runs the department with an iron fist and will get rid of employees he doesn't like. Many talented security engineers and managers either left or got laid off. Unless you thrive in threatening and hostile work environments, avoid working for Premera's information security department. And if you are currently working for the department, my advice is you apply for a position at other companies. The job market is hot right now and, if you want to jump ship, right now is a great time.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Premera Blue Cross full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Easy commute, good benefits, competitive wages. Plenty of opportunity to make a difference and do great work.
Cons
Great work isn't valued, and expectations shift in the sand. Highly reactive and punitive culture, and true leadership is rare. Priorities and direction are always changing, and too few managers are able to lead teams in strategy and execution.
