Pros

I loved the work and for 6 years was happy with what I did. I knew I made a difference and did my job well. Not many has the same skill set I did and there was always work to do.

Cons

1. It's an old white boys club. I say that as a white individual. It sucks that's how MFN rolls. They say they value diversity but they don't. They will have a token diverse person in an exec role but they're there to be a face, not make any changes or impact. 2. They pay really well but that hurts when you leave. 3. They layoff the good people and keep the undereducated white males. Why? See #1 above. 4. They don't want you if you are female and over 40. Think I'm lying? See the number of females 40+ who got hit in the January "reorganization." 5. HR is a joke. Talent acquisition couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map. So many excuses on why they didn't do their jobs. 6. MFN said the HealthNet employees needed to learn the Centene way and the Centene way would prevail. He lied. 7. They never entertained the idea of working from home. At all. Even a 25% WFH option would cut costs and improve morale.

Pros

- Huge company with many opportunities for growth if you are willing to move and continue to learn an improve your skills - Working at a health plan away from HQ can feel like you are working for a small company, this can a pro and a con

Cons

- No work from home or flex schedules - Doing data analytics at one of the health plans away from corporate HQ can be challenging because all of the technical data teams that build and maintain the databases are at corporate HQ. Often it is difficult if not impossible to even find out who the right person is to talk to.

Pros

Positive atmosphere with friendly supportive peers and approachable leaders. Compensation and benefit package are one of the best I've seen. Paid holidays, 401k, Stock options, full health, dental, vision, company paid life on all family with option for supplemental.

Cons

Salaried employees have to use PTO for doctor's appointments and beginning next year (2017) our PTO must accumulate, without the option for any carry over at the years end.
