Pros

1. Some very nice down to earth people inside the organization below the VP level. 2. WFH practices 3. Transformational

Cons

1. Zero work life balance....zero 2. No safety nets....if you hide, they don't find you....if you are on a highly visible project....if you don't kill it, you are gone 3. Poor compensation not only base pay and bonus but healthcare premiums are high for working in a health care company 4. Zero promotion from within....you are hired for a role and that is your place on the line.

Pros

salary is competitive for market. good work-life balance, as people leave at 5pm and work from home. cafeteria is on site. Support coworkers & United Way & have a regular blood mobile drive than leave the mobile bus exhaust running by the 2 stories stairs rise from the parking lot which is a health hazard.

Cons

Prefer prior experience candidates-as there is little to no training. Routine is lots of last minute requests that require many unproductive hours in meetings, this is the norm. Management leadership skill is lacking.

Pros

Large corporate which is potentially growing. Good place to get experience in Healthcare and the Rational Unified Process tools and terminology. Salaries seem in line with industry or slightly better. Some teams/positions allow work from home 2 days a week. Jeans on Friday.

Cons

Uncertain how the provider network battle with UPMC will turn out and affect Highmark's business future. Highmark does not have a consistent approach to project management across the corporation. Some teams are organized while others are completely disorganized and chaotic. I was on a very chaotic team before I left and the fallout from this was the reason for my leaving (long hours, unreasonable expectations). There are as many or more project leads as actual workers on a project which is very unproductive. This is also a result of the disorganization. Many people are stressed out who work here and are on anti-anxiety pills as a result. .
