Talk to the employees in the area in which you plan to work before accepting a job here - Recensione dipendente - IT Manager presso CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield

In the scramble to remain competitive in a market in which the company is constantly losing marketshare, there are many quick decisions made with the expectation of quick implementation and poor leadership to make that happen. It is hard to be a part of an organization you see wasting thousands of dollars on initiatives manned by costly consultants/contractors who are friends and family of executives but are incompetent (one $200/hr contractor could NOT put together a workplan- not even just bullets!!) when you know that there are families scraping together money to pay their exorbitant monthly premiums. There are many initiatives started and not completed due to inadequate time permitted to plan. In addition, promotions were awarded to "friends" of the CIO instead of the competency of internal staff. Especially difficult for minorities and women in IT.
