      Pros

      -Benefits and compensation -Work-Life balance -Commute -Very smart and educated staff

      Cons

      -In my group, senior leadership couldn't manage themselves out of a paper bag. Sort of astonishing level of incompetence. -Management showed little to no interest in creating the conditions for success -If I had a dollar for every meeting I attended, I could retire. Totally excessive. -Management definitely fostered a culture of fear and conflict -In terms of technology, management expertise, operations and processes, openness to innovation, rapidity of change, etc, joining Premera is like joining a state-owned company in the 1950's. If you like that sort of thing, go for it!

      The most dysfunctional IT department I've ever worked in.

      Pros

      Ample free parking - if you got there before 8:30am. The mission statement and philosophy focused on the customer, the people we insured. Many of the people I worked with both on the Business side and in IT - this was not a large segment of the population due to the lack of accountability that is so wide spread there.

      Cons

      I've been working in IT for twenty years and I've seen a lot but this by far is the most dysfunctional IT Department I've ever worked in. There is NO Leadership with vision and strategy alignment with the business units. The mismanagement in the Leadership ranks is frightening. It appears they all came from failed companies or were shed by downsizing. There are so many former WaMu people there they could rename it WaMu II. Most of the line staff walks around gleefully unaccountable for producing anything, coming in late and leaving early and socializing most of the day away. There are a lot of people riding on the backs of the few that are working hard there. My advice, if you’re in the IT profession, don’t come here.

      Pros

      My co-workers and team members were fantastic. There was fairly good training as well. Ability to have Health, Life, D&D insurance fully paid for were good as well.

      Cons

      The company is very political. Teams within the same department were unwilling to help each other out and supporting departments also were unwilling to go the extra mile if there was a need. Long standing employees (20 plus) were fired without explanation - The company would simply take there stuff away in the middle of the night and pretend like they didn't exist.
