You will find some areas that may be better managed and functional. If you are being brought in at a higher level with a specialized job, for example, if you are an AI expert and are part of the chosen, inner circle it is probably still a good option. But I would read through these posts carefully as there is a lot of factual info that should be given careful consideration. There is no real innovation, profits are being made shifting jobs off shore, via premature implementation of AI and via RIFs; that is not sustainable as a long term strategy. The senior leadership team for the most part is incompetent in my opinion. The CFO has no healthcare knowledge, the CIO has crashed and burned at several companies. Look at public records and you will see that the SLT is not buying Elevance stock, with the exception of one 2.3 mil purchase by Gail to shore up quarterly earnings, they have spent 400k total in stock purchases over the last year and are ditching their shares whenever that can. The chief security officer left, supposedly due to questionable behavior re in house self monitoring. The culture is very much a caste system where the SLT and their minions pass down impossible to meet goals and then also I believe misrepresent up the chain that goals are being met. RIFs are constant and are not communicated; it is like a horror movie where people are disappeared in the night. This results in the people who are left having unreasonable workloads and overall makes for a miserable culture. Many people who were hired fully remote and never went into an office were required to go in 3 days and wouldn’t be shocked if it goes to 5. Expect raises that don’t keep pace with inflation and cr-p bonuses. Advancement opportunities are also limited. If the job has anything to do with provider data, that is a mess. I would never do a call center job at this company. If you go in with your eyes open and limit yourself to 40 hour weeks from the outset and are able to manage your stress and understand from the outset that it is not you it is them; then perhaps it will be workable for you. I would strongly caution anyone who has underlying anxiety or an inability to compartmentalize against this company. You don’t mention percentage wise what the difference in potential salary is, I would perhaps see if you can negotiate with the other organization for a future increase.
