Pros

Get to work 60 hours a week with no job recognition , if you are in to that! You work with reputable clients.

Cons

This used to be a great company but in the past year the new leadership has made it absolute hell. They literally say the employees are replaceable and they don't care if people leave. There were so many bad reviews that they started posting fake positive ones. Trust me, everyone still here is looking for an escape!

So Deceptive and Unethical

Pros

Nice location Commuter subsidies (even though why do you have to pay to go to work?) So what decent pay Bonus IF you qualify, based on performance reviews and overall company success which most of the time is very skewed and biased to what the company wants to pay.

Cons

Overall company culture is very repugnant, most employees are not happy, tenured employees are not valued and replaced with less skilled and cheaper labor making it even harder for productive individuals to thrive because they have to pick up all of the slack. Cronyism is rampant and evident. Management is awarded to those who are willing to do dirty work and not skill level, most of the management are usually clueless to the work and to what is going on within the company. Executive management is completely out of touch with what is going on within their work force. It appears that HR, Mid level management have a tight knit bond and not sure what the agenda really is. Employee retention is sub par, the company let all of the talent walk and can't really recruit good talent as they won't stay longer than a month plus the company recruiting, HR, management seem to have a crony system in place, you can't really advance, they will give you pretentious "promotions" that doesn't come with any pay increases only work load.

Disappointment

Pros

As others say, colleagues are generally easy to get along with, offices are bright and comfortable, nice work-life balance, competitive salaries and benefits, lots of smart people who are sincere in their quest to offer health and wellness improvement to customers.

Cons

So disappointed in my experience here. Even though coworkers are nice enough, there is little camaraderie or sense of team. If I don't say "good morning," no one else does. It always, always feels like you are just waiting for the other shoe to drop -- and not in a good way. There seems to always be a problem and no good resolution. Even when one thing resolves another crops up. Program managers are overloaded and overworked, so it is hard for them to focus on priorities. Systems are outdated and contribute to inefficiencies in work. For the tenure of the company to date, it is frightening how much is on the table to get "fixed" ASAP. I really wanted it to work here, but it is not the place for me.
