Infuriatingly slow to respond, but amazingly stable company

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability is definitely a plus -- this company isn't going anywhere. Filled with really smart people. Trying, sometimes successfully, to change its ability to act like a nimble company. Attractive campus.

Cons

Ultra conservative. Often unable to free itself to think outside the box. Calls itself transparent but doesn't share information with the rand and file. Departments are tragically siloed. Initiatives start, stall, restart, drop under the radar and disappear with alarming frequency.

Premera Blue Cross - A Great Place to Work

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Proud to be part of a company that is trying to make a difference in the healthcare industry that goes way beyond their own bottom line.

Cons

The first thing I noticed when I walked in on my first day is that everyone is working so hard, it's too darn quiet... Somebody tell a joke!
