Pros

This review is for the Nurtur subsidiary in Dallas. My co-workers are great. The atmosphere and workplace is great.

Cons

No standard processes. No development/test environment. The database called "B-I" is a free-for-all, with people developing directly in the system being used by the users. This DB was designed by someone who had no idea what a true BI system is. The code is replete with cursors, dynamic SQL. Applications keep being developed in access (by this mgr) and then must be supported by IT.

Pros

I loved the work and for 6 years was happy with what I did. I knew I made a difference and did my job well. Not many has the same skill set I did and there was always work to do.

Cons

1. It's an old white boys club. I say that as a white individual. It sucks that's how MFN rolls. They say they value diversity but they don't. They will have a token diverse person in an exec role but they're there to be a face, not make any changes or impact. 2. They pay really well but that hurts when you leave. 3. They layoff the good people and keep the undereducated white males. Why? See #1 above. 4. They don't want you if you are female and over 40. Think I'm lying? See the number of females 40+ who got hit in the January "reorganization." 5. HR is a joke. Talent acquisition couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map. So many excuses on why they didn't do their jobs. 6. MFN said the HealthNet employees needed to learn the Centene way and the Centene way would prevail. He lied. 7. They never entertained the idea of working from home. At all. Even a 25% WFH option would cut costs and improve morale.
