Great team of coworkers, short-sighted, narrow, executive management

It engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented, supportive group of IT professionals that deeply care about their work and maintaining excellence even when supporting outdated, failing infrastructure.

Cons

Executive management unsupportive and obstructionary. Little or no support for upward movement. Even when promotions are earned, it can take 3 - 6 months for HR to implement the change in title and salary. Daily, subtle threats that IT jobs will be outsourced in the near future. While Premera speaks of work-life balance, many IT teams are understaffed and overworked by design.

Great place to get experience in different disciplines and gain experience to use at a more innovative company

Senior it analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a good place to work if work / life balance is important to you. Depending on what department you work in, you will likely have many opportunities for advancement and to build different skill-sets. Compensation has been good with chance for bonus (exempt employees).

Cons

Company is run by consensus and objectives are not clearly prioritized, communicated, and implemented from the top down. Leads to a fairly political climate where the rules change from day to day. There is a push to being more customer-centric, but this company is still mired in old ways of thinking about insurance and what customers want. From technology perspective, there is lip-service paid to innovation, but the technical debt is too high and business objectives too ambiguous to actually be innovative.
