Pros

Mots of the people that I worked with on a daily basis were hard working, decent, smart people. I was able to work on a variety of types of projects and with many areas of the company. The benefits are great as is the building and workout facility.

Cons

Leadership at Wellmark is only looking out for themselves and will not hesitate to throw any of their team under the bus for any missteps or mistakes. Micromanaging at its worst on many days. The work load was over the top on most days with no possibility of getting help. Certain departments and teams are better than others but stay far away from the Marketing Communications team. Unless leadership in that whole department is changed, the rapid turnover and continuous hiring will continue due to dis-satisfied and fed up employees.

Pros

Salary is competitive. When we were in-office (pre-covid) they did a lot of employee perks: food, drinks, etc. Job security. Health benefits were good (but not any cheaper than most employers) Perks like student loan programs, paternity leave, and paid education experiences are good.

Cons

• If you need a milestone job & experience, I think this place is ok but if you’re looking for a career here, it’s just not worth the amount of stress, conflict, and bull you’ll deal with in this organization. • We’ve lost a lot of really good tech talent in the last 1.5 years but there’s a little bit of a vibe of “who do you think you are” when people leave. • Incredible variance in how projects are run, expectations, and roles on projects. I’ve been on 15 projects in 4 years and it’s absolute chaos all the time with who does what, when things are due, when is done “done”, who needs to approve what, etc. Reinventing the wheel constantly, or just giving the reigns to a contracting company because we don’t know how to move forward with a project. • It seems like tension has only escalated each year i’ve been there. People disengage everywhere to cope on projects. Very little regard for doing things Agile, in sequence, or logically “just move the mark a little each week”. • The leadership high to low is unbearable at times. A lot of tech leads, delivery leads, team leads who moved into their roles because they’ve been there a long time, not because they were capable of the role. Not to say people can’t grow into roles but your entire leadership can’t be that way.

Pros

Good benefits, generous PTO policy plus ability to purchase more Office building, parking and wellness center are top notch

Cons

Recent senior leaderhip have had substantial changes on culture for the worse Opportunities for advancement are very limited; experience outside the company (or even other parts of the organization) is not valued.
