Pros

Bleeding edge on Technology, IT budget is large. There are many good people working there.

Cons

Culture can be frustrating, good managers are few and between. Executives in IT change often.

Pros

HMSA is a great company to work for when you work for a great department and manager. My experience at HMSA was a lot of work flexibility, autonomy, and great work-life balance. Pros: Nice employee gym at the main building; good health benefits; trying to really focus on increasing employee engagement and moral; 401k match up to a certain percentage; casual dress code including appropriate active wear

Cons

Compensation/bonuses/raises/promotions but typical of a nonprofit; YPT accrual is minimal-especially for new employees; cramped work areas and no privacy; no free employee parking (wait list for garage is 10 years of service!); no winter holiday break or summer hours; no sick leave or personal days; communication is very siloed

Pros

If you want to go to work and goof off and not do anything, there's a position for you.

Cons

Poor pay. Poor recognition. The hardest workers are saddled with more work because most of the staff is inept. Rather than fire the poor performers they're allowed to stay and basically do nothing while the hard workers have to work long hours and beg for an annual raise that barely covers inflation. Management was hired from those same poor workers. Most of them have zero experience or knowledge. Management can't even figure out how to sort an Excel list. They blatantly have their favorites and make decisions based on who they like most. The worst part is they act like it's high school and they're the "in-crowd." It's all about what clique you're in and nothing more. The worst part of it all is just how hypocritical the entire company is. They talk about being there for the members but most people only care about themselves. Vendor managers and decision makers go with who took them to the nicest dinner and are motivated by their own interests even though there is a compliance policy. The company wasted literally 10s of millions of dollars on a vendor that did absolutely nothing for members except raise premiums.
