Pros

- Great Tuition Reimbursement - Flexible work from home arrangements - Oppotunities to try new roles

Cons

- Pay is low and the "rewards for performance" strategy doesn't actually work. Telling employees that they need to be in their role for 3-5 years before they will be paid 90% of a fair wage is a horrible practice. I have been on my current team for two years and have gotten the highest possible performance rating both years, but I won't reach reach the "Market Value" that Cigna told me I'm worth for another 4 years. Knowing that I am a high performer and could make 15-20k more elsewhere, why should I stay? - For non-hourly roles, pay is not differentiated based on location. If you live somewhere with high cost of living, your pay will not be adjusted. - If you are brought into Cigna through an acquisition, integration will be slow or non-existent. Don't expect IT or operations support, but be prepared for external partners to hold you to a higher standard.

Pros

I was based at Cigna’s Bloomfield headquarters and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I had the opportunity to work alongside exceptionally smart, action-oriented colleagues and business partners who were knowledgeable, responsive, and dependable. People knew their subject matter, provided direct answers, and consistently followed through on their commitments. The organization was highly professional, well-managed, and organized. The Wilde Building had a positive, forward-thinking energy that made it an enjoyable place to work. The cafeteria offered excellent food options, and the views overlooking Gillette Ridge Golf Club were a nice bonus. 30% annual bonus was greatly appreciated. Finally, I personally believed in the leadership of the CEO and the entire ELT.

Cons

During my two years with the company, I reported to three different managers, which created instability. One manager, in particular, created significant challenges for both the broader team and me. Multiple team members raised concerns with Human Resources, but no action was taken. The company also regularly conducts smaller-scale workforce reductions and position eliminations. These actions can occur across various departments and at different times, which creates uncertainty among employees. Because these reductions are small, they don't trigger a WARN Act or receive media attention. As a result, employees feel a heightened sense of job insecurity regarding future organizational changes.
