Pros

Good if you're a medical professional who wants to try out the corporate world. TriZetto gives RNs a shocking amount of latitude to make business decisions.

Cons

TriZetto hires and fires executives almost seasonally - this very much trickles down to all employees, who are at constant mercy of corporate "realignment" and frequent layoffs. The venture capital owners are at odds with the company management. Strategy changes every winter, spring, summer and fall. TriZetto attempts to sell a brand of "we care about healthcare" internally and externally - this is far from the truth. Owners simply want to cut costs as much as possible, will not fund innovation and are making sure no strategic vision takes root apart from - lets sell as much of the old claims administration systems as we can, and then the venture capital fund can cash in TriZetto and move on to something else. Enter at own risk - beware of frequent layoffs. Pay and benefits are sub-par. New headquarters are not conducive to productivity - you sit in a long row of desks with little privacy in between.

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
