Pros

Team is what has kept me going for so long. There is a lot of collaboration with really good people.

Cons

There are meetings where we are discussing the same topics over and over. Nothing new is discussed and it feels like ground hog day. There is substantial department (political) infighting but nobody is held accountable when deliverables are not met. There is voluntary turn over due to this, as people are frustrated that it never feels like anything is getting done. Leadership changes every few years and every new senior leader has a vision that they want to implement. They ultimately fail leave and then the new leader has a new vision. Rinse repeat this process over a few years and you have a revolving door of issues. Combine this with the turnover mentioned above and you dont have enough SMEs to solve problems.

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.
