Pros

Recent mergers and acquisition brought with it, new knowledgeable leadership into the upper echelons, which resulted in new training programs and resources being introduced. Before the most recent M&A, nobody cared about (1)training employees or (2)diversity and inclusion or (3)listening to their employees.

Cons

# Unless you work at the headquarters or you know how to brown nose your way to the top, you are guaranteed to be stuck at the same role. # HR process is a joke. The recruiters take their own time to process applications. Since the C-suite is not in favor of "work from home", your job application is ignored if you cannot relocation to the job location. Also, be prepared to negotiate your salary, the recruiters(hiring managers!! ) are known for lowballing your salary offer. # Hypocrisy run rampant . C-suite tells you one thing at the townhalls, but does something else later. Leadership does not always have an open door policy, again, unless, you work for one of the newly acquired units. Turnover is high. # Organic innovation is stagnant, the only way for them to grow is mergers or acquisitions.

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.
