Cons

Old culturre. Not many young people. Sort of blue collar population. Lots of unmotivated, overpaid employees. Not the highest level of professionalism in the office. Career path is not clearly layed out. EXTREMELY limited contact with any management director level or above. Managers making technical decisions when they do not have any idea of how the systems actually work.

Pros

People on the whole were good folks, easygoing atmosphere. They let people who are so inclined take the lead and drive innovation.

Cons

The technology, like much of the health insurance industry, is old. Mainframe/COBOL are the technologies that drive the organization. Newer technologies are only slowly being adpoted.
