Premera Blue Cross – “Would not recommend working here”

Pros

Great medical benefits. Other than that not much of anything.

Cons

Don't expect the right things to get done and don't expect skilled management. Management here leaves little to be desired. Not only are they incapable of basic management tasks they have no idea of the technology that they manage. In addition, if you are use to working in a slow-paced environment such as the government then Premera will suit you.

Management does not support their direct reports either professionally or personally. There is no work/life balance so don't come here expecting it. Furthermore, if you happen to be an engineer or a manager of engineers beware of the sr. manager of engineering. Beware.

Advice to Senior Management

Without wiping the slate clean and starting over I'm not sure there is any advice. The CIO and VP levels are completely out of touch with reality. Enjoy!
