Pros
A good amount of my peers were good people and fun to work with. The location and eco-pass is a great perk.
Cons
Davita is extremely behind the times, especially in terms of software development. They claim they've adopted Agile methodologies but the size of the company inhibits any fast development or releases. The Leadership in the IT spaces are completely clueless of what their teams are accomplishing. They fail to deliver clear objectives and strategy, do not provide any metrics to measure success and use the squishy core values to fall back on when evaluating performance. If you are applying to a "Product" position, I suggest you reframe it in your mind as a glorified user story writer. There is minimal importance placed on discovery, less on validation and there is a major gap in any user feedback loop. When it comes to making major decisions about products, your expert knowledge is quickly overlooked unless you have someone higher on the food chain on your side, regardless of valuable data you bring to the table. Decisions are usually made with a very pie-in-the-sky motivation or short-termed thinking. There is a great emphasis placed on "executive presence." Essentially, if can and want to play in politics, then you should get by just fine.
