Pros
For years I thought Cigna was a good company but the last 3-4 years things have changed and I no longer feel I will retire here. There has been a mass exodus of top talent and Band 4&5 leadership over the last year in particular. This is a Healthcare services company that does do some good. There are many jobs you will be able to find a passion for. Large company so there are always internal postings (however there is a minimum 1 year in role policy before you can transfer). After 10 years of employment you get 28 days PTO per year. Up to 5% 401k match. Some roles offer restricted stock grants as part of compensation package (vests after 3 years) but you must agree to a noncompete.
Cons
- Used to be a remote first company. In 2024 senior leadership has decided all positions are now in office aligned and is forcing people to go to an office or resign. People are now forced to commute for hours a day (without a cost of living offset) and senior leadership still expects the same productivity and results. - Senior leadership does not care about Human Resources - Used COVID as an excuse to not give employees raises in 2021 even though the company performed very well. - Implemented a mandatory COVID vaccine and then walked it back after forcing people to meet the policy deadline. - Minimal raises (2-3%) even if you are a top performer. Minimal promotion or internal transfer raises (2-6% common) - Maternity leave is terrible - No longer have sick leave - Minimal PTO until you have 10 years tenure - Constant restructuring and change - Removed company paid internet for WAH when still had WAH - Work/life balance- expect minimum 45-60 hours depending on role
