Pros

The people, the resources, and the culture. The people in my org are awesome, and we all work to push the company's security in the right direction. Most everyone is incredibly technical, even amongst management. There are enough financial resources in order to tool our team with the technology we need to succeed. Nobody shies away from a challenge, and everyone has a fairly shared vision for the future and what we all need to do to get there.

Cons

Centene isn't a _super_ well-known company, and so there isn't exactly a ton of talent flocking to join up. While we have financial resources for the tools we need, we don't have the people to man all of them as well as we should. Though, maybe you can fix that! The other con is that... it's a big company, and so there is a lot of red tape on actually getting changes through. Everyone is generally on board with the changes, it just has to be run past legal, architecture, risk, business continuity, and their brother before it can be made a reality. Which is understandable, we don't want to bring everything to a screeching halt... it just can be frustrating at times.

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.
