      Complete Joke

      Pros

      Good talented people who are under appreciated

      Cons

      Place is a complete joke. If you have drive/ideas, this is not the place for you. It's a soul draining place. They are more interested with bombarding you with some nonsense emails throughout the day to make you think the place cares about you. Stop with the emails throughout the day. You work all year to actually try and make a difference/help. Come review time, they have this idiotic system with ranking 1-5, yet no one can ever get a 5 because they consider that God like ranking. If its not achievable then why have it? Then the big raise. A whopping 2. 5% . Any random year, inflation is in the area of 3%, slightly up or down. This year, inflation is over 6%, What a complete joke. That on top of the ever rising crappy health benefits options, actually means you will be taking home less this upcoming year vs the last year. The new president and COO I'm sure we're a bargain over the previous folks. So cheap you had to import them from other states. So that means, they weren't cheap. Yet, all this place can give you is 2.5 raise? They can't even get to 3%. You know what that translates to? Don't try and just mail it in like everyone else, cuz it makes not difference what you do for this place. What a disgrace.

      Learned at lot while employed at BMCHP, but the grass IS greener elsewhere

      Pros

      People are generally nice, and there are some very talented professionals at the mix. The Copley Sq office location is beautiful and conveniently located, though I hear that there is a move in the near future so that will be changing. I learned a lot during my tenure at BCMHP and I appreciate many of the lasting professional connections I made. In general I think BMCHP has a lot of potential, but failure to trim the fat and streamline ops means losing talent to other organizations that will allow plans to execute on a realistic timeline.

      Cons

      If you are looking for red tape, an endless cycle of useless meetings, and a failure to lead people or manage change, BMCHP may be for you. If you like training for your position, support to help you succeed, and clearly defined metrics outlining your successes and knowledge gaps, well, this place probably isn't for you. I worked at BMCHP for over three years, and I was shocked at how much time was wasted having meetings about meetings, disciplining people who may not deserve it, and generally creating smoke-and-mirrors smooth-over scenarios instead of channeling talent to get things done. I met some wonderful people and was given some interesting opportunities, but boy, is this place a mess. I also saw a lot of nasty behavior, from every level of this organization. Why is this not managed? And, who is managing the managers?

      Pros

      Current location is convenient. Most of the ppl you work with are decent.

      Cons

      Where do all the rejects or has beens from Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts & Blue Cross end up? Here. The place is a complete joke. There are a bunch of people with titles, but no leaders. You will never find a single person in 'leadership' at any level of this org actual make a decision on 'ANYTHING'. Everything is done by consensus and endless meetings, where everyone sheepishly comes to a decision, which is usually ambiguous and ridiculous. No one makes a decision with the goal of making anything better, but more on covering their rear. Furthering your career? That's a joke, unless you go from desk monkey level I to desk monkey II or III. Real opportunities or enhancement? Look elsewhere, bcuz it aint going to happen here. Last year, the working stiffs didn't get anything in relation to a bonus or salary increase. Then all the 'directors' became VP with a nice salary bump up. They do the exact same job, have the exact same responsibilities and have the exact same number of people reporting to them. They weren't worth what they were getting paid before, let alone this new salary. If you're not in with someone, you won't get an opportunity. HR is useless as previously stated. It is ALL lip service.
