Pros

food in the cafeteria is pretty good

Cons

unrealistic expectations on deadlines and productivity (ie, a project that will take you 3 days, they want done in 3 hours). lack of communication from upper management. says they care about you as a person, but very little action to prove that. says they value the work life balance, but you’re expected to work 50+ hours under immense stress and you will probably regularly work past 7pm. a lot of changes should have been made 10 years ago when this company was 1/5 the size it is now, but they are just now getting around to them. if you’re an evp you probably love it because you walk on water and get paid a LOT, but everyone I know complains all the time. you will probably be taken advantage of as an employee because the entire company is severely understaffed (hence the 50+ hrs). unless you have the letters “vp” in your name, you will be underpaid for how hard you work. there are so many problems. some departments/areas are better than others, but overall I would not recommend working here.

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.
