Pros

I want to work for an organization that is financially positioned to grow, and who really do believe that their people are the reason for the success of the company. Zelis is this company. Sure, there are growing pains that challenge the way we operate some days, but the great thing is that Zelis continues to evolve and be on the leading edge. There are exciting times ahead for Zelis and personally, I am thrilled to continue my career aspirations and development with this organization. It is okay to be challenged and taken out of my comfort zone as long as Zelis continues to treat me fair and equally as they have the past two years. I just read some of the negative reviews on Zelis and am shocked that there are some people in this organization that are so frustrated and dissatisfied. My first question is why have you not made changes then? Why are you making it sound like everyone feels the same way you do? We are all in control of our lives and our career. We need to personally lead the change that is healthy for us. Find your happiness instead of trying to bring others down with you

Cons

We need more opportunities to work virtually.

Pros

I 've been with Zelis for more than 3 years, and it's been a great place to build a career. One of the biggest benefits is the flexibility. Working remotely has allowed me to maintain a healthy work-life balance, which is incredibly important because my family is my top priority. I've always felt trusted to manage my work while still being present for the moments that matter most outside of work. The company has created an environment where employees are empowered to do their jobs without unnecessary micromanagement. Leadership encourages collaboration, and I've had opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute in meaningful ways. The culture is supportive, and I've enjoyed working alongside talented colleagues who genuinely care about helping each other succeed.

Cons

Like any growing organization, there are times when processes and priorities change, which can take some adjustment. Clear communication during periods of change is always appreciated, but overall, these have been manageable and haven't taken away from my positive experience.

Pros

Good work/life balance, generous PTO

Cons

• Excessive management layers: There are too many layers of management, many of which seem focused on self-preservation rather than supporting the team. This creates unnecessary bureaucracy, leaving employees bogged down with low-value tasks and corporate checkboxes instead of meaningful work. • Outdated technology and resistance to innovation: The tech stack is significantly outdated, and there is a clear resistance to adopting modern solutions. For example, I was penalized for incorporating AI into development work, despite other teams being encouraged to use tools like ChatGPT for less impactful tasks. Opportunities to implement cost-saving, AI-driven solutions were dismissed without proper consideration. • Unsustainable expectations for advancement: Promotions appear to be reserved only for top performers who are willing to prioritize work above all else. The expectation to “eat, sleep, and breathe” the job creates an unhealthy work-life balance and limits growth opportunities for otherwise strong contributors.
