Premera Blue Cross Reviews

Pros

Flexible, agile, work-life balance, and compensation

Cons

Managers that don't have the skill set or training to manage people

Pros

Lots of amazing people, great Agile support, fantastic work life balance, invests in continuous learning, work from home support was good, and competitive pay at least in my position (pension is nice to have, yearly bonus, training and education budgets, health benefits)

Cons

Outdated benefits that are not competitive with other companies in the area (PTO and sick pay are one bucket, no fertility benefits, no fully paid maternity/paternity leave, 8 paid holidays) even though they have promotion tracks no one in my position has ever been promoted -instead they hire externally, layoffs were not strategic and we lost a ton of knowledge with no handoff, tons of reorgs, new leadership doesn’t seem to have a good vision, lack of diversity and transparency

Pros

WFH option, nice campus, good benefits, pension, competitive pay

Cons

Many years of constant IT turnover (the most being in the last year) especially in leadership, combined with haphazard re-orgs/communication and layoffs has created an environment where people don't feel cared about or appreciated. New leadership style is fostering a culture of fear and self-preservation. Maybe they'll be in better shape a year or two from now when most of the department had left and been replaced.

Pros

Customer First, good benefits, good pay

Cons

Customer First, Executives second, the rest of the employees scratch and claw their way slooooowly up the ladder. if you want to advance you have to know someone.

Pros

Good people, nice benefits, and a pension

Cons

This company’s leadership team doesn’t care about people of color. They continue to believe that “colorblindness” and other “Premera is one big family” is a sufficient way to celebrate and tackle our differences. Any commitment made to DEI was lip service by seasoned marketing profesionales who are now in leadership positions. The turnover for non white individuals is high, as the micro aggressions run everyone out. You are hired as an agent of change, but this company has no desire to innovate.
