Pluspunten

Fair compensation, diversity of job disciplines within the framework of the larger company. Company products and mission are good. Many dedicated, remarkable, bright employees among larger workforce.

Minpunten

Best and brightest are not in leadership positions. Entire health care company is far too Andover-centric and short-sighted in practice. Far too much internal backslapping and value is placed on perceived persons of power in Andover office, to the detriment of the wellbeing of the rest of the company. Their self-love impacts efficient business practices, company morale, while they play musical chairs among themselves, offering raises and bonuses for cronyism. The real performers are shut out. Management has proven to be horridly egotistical, ignorant of basic organizational dynamic principles that would actually improve the effectiveness of the entire workforce. Far too many "leaders" feel entitled to weigh in on business areas they know little of, and create chaos and bruised morale.The tension in the Andover office is palpable on a daily basis. A real drain on employee satisfaction.

Pluspunten

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Minpunten

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
