Pros

The best thing about Zelis are the people you work with. The work is engaging and is helping people know more about the healthcare they need.

Cons

Top management does a poor job of communicating with the rest of the company. The last couple of years there have been layoffs and it is unpredictable as to who is selected to be laid off. They do not seek input from the actual managers. The decisions are made by top management who do not actually work with the people selected. Advancement is limited. You need to wait for someone to leave for an opportunity to move up.

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 • Outdated technology and resistance to innovation: The tech stack is significantly outdated, and there is a clear resistance to adopting modern solutions.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.
