Pros

Can't think of any. Used to be a good place to work, but then our COO (head of Dallas office) retired and it has been going down hill from there

Cons

Way understaffed, even for contracts that have funding. Everything moves too slowly. Senior management, especially the president, micro manages. You are expected to do the work of two people and are given rated down when you can't achieve that. Management gives you arbitrary deadlines that must be met without consideration to changes in scope or circumstances.

Pros

Good Salary, Nice Benefits. The Co-workers are excellent and are very helpful. As a subsidiary of Blue Cross, it's well known and well regarded.

Cons

Poor Management, Inadequate management. The management have no knowledge of a success criteria and cannot define it. The pricing of all the work is too high. There is no knowledge of any product creation. They are selling cloud services and DO NOT have FEDRAMP classification. They double burden their pricing. They buy services from Blue Cross and there is a markup by BCBSSC, then CDS, a subsidiary of BCBSSC also marks it up. All of their business is at risk since CMS has decided to use Amazon, which is priced at about 10% of the cost of CDS and provides a higher level of service.

Pros

The people were decent to work with. Management was knowledgeable and company growth was explosive.

Cons

New management (COO) and new Directors are clueless about the business. Upper Management does not have an open door policy even though they "say" they do. Management can not be trusted and there is NO work-life balance without penalty. Stay away from this company...you have been warned. Working here was very stressful because you could be fired at any minute for anything....felt like walking on eggshells.
