Dynamic environment, requires flexibility - Executive Advisor Information Security WellPoint Employee Review

Great people to work for

Lots of hours. Ever changing.

The company culture, people, and work environment are great. The pay and benefits are above average except they are skimpy with PTO.

The workload is insane. (I work in IT.) Projects are promised based on what will make the managers look good, not on what is realistic. We never have time to do anything right, so we frequently have to make time to do it over. And that time comes out of our personal lives, those of us who have managed to hang on to one at all. We knew going in it wasn't a 40 hour week, but it has gone from the occasional 45-50 hour week to 10 x 6 or 8 x 7 as the norm, and we are on salary. We get resources too late in the project to train them to be much good, and training them takes time away from the time we can spend doing everything because we have no time to train!
