ProsMost of the people are nice and really do care about doing a good job. The work life balance is great, as they let folks telecommute.

Current Employee – been working at Health Net full-time

ProsSome good honest folk work there, victims of fallout from major IT outsourcing (executive decision).

ConsNearly all the cons of working at Health Net (IT) are related to one thing: the company they choose to outsource with and the partners of that company.

Advice to Senior ManagementSwitch to another outsource company or switch back to insourcing.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
