Pros

It’s a technology healthcare company

Cons

The place is run but ruthless micro managers that start their day at 7am and end it at 7pm. They want to do agile but they micro manage you everyday with status requests via chat , email, calls. The emails are often negative and berating. They question your ethic by the second week of employment. They have let the environment go for a long time and they hired people to try to solve and shore it up so they could pass their audits. Place let me go a week before Christmas after I had to take some time for an eye injury. Daily I was getting emails on status for projects that they had no 2023/2024 budget for so it was all filler. The leadership mentions that you are all part of a family, but you see people leaving or let go. In my 4 months I saw many people leave and or let go. The security leaders lack what it takes to run a HIPAA/Hitrust shop. They are technically inept in many ways and have no basic understanding of the environment. Ultimately this place tries to fake it till they make it approach but now that they have to show case their environment is secure and stable they will terrorize those who are put in place to fix everythingy that they lacked doing for the past 4 years.

Pros

Good initial base pay. Also provides stipend for phone use.

Cons

Their onboarding training does not compare to other PBMs. Benefits are expensive and their 401K matching incentive is misleading. They do not fully match 6% employment contribution as they advertise. Work life balance is non-existent. You're expected to be available and working 10-12 hours per day.
