      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company benefits chronically under-served members. Growth is exciting. Entrepreneurial atmosphere can be very positive if you have a supportive manager.

      Cons

      Management relies too heavily on heroes to accomplish goals. No support from management to provide necessary resources to accomplish aggressive goals. Everyone has more tasks than time to accomplish them. Work/life balance is not good. IT management is very cliquish, resulting in a very siloed organization.

      Pros

      1. Easy environment. 2. Long Term Career Growth for employees.

      Cons

      1. Poor IT infrastructure. 2. No proper Training provided for IT skills. If training was for provided to the employees on IT skills which the company requires, it would make Centene a top place for IT and would save the company millions of dollars.

      Growth is a challenge and an opportunity

      Pros

      - I have seen career growth in 4 years at Centene that would have taken me 15 to 20 years anywhere else. Centene is very fast paced and rapidly growing. There are fires that need fighting and lots of growing pains, but this brings as much opportunity as challenge. Make yourself useful in the right area and you will go far. - I have been blessed with some incredible leaders, although not all areas of the company seem to be as lucky. - Good benefits, good pay. - Acceptable hours. This may not be true for all of IT, but in my area it's not common to work more than 45 hours a week unless someone just likes to do that.

      Cons

      - Changing culture since the Healthnet merger. The values of the company overall have declined in the aftermath. - Some internal teams are very difficult to work with and take up to 6 weeks to respond to very simple requests or inquiries. - Competing direction given from upper management in IT. While some are embracing Agile and even DevOps, others are being pushed to enforce restrictive, regimented processes and things that oppose the very nature of Agile and DevOps.
