Pros
The benefits are almost competitive. Although United Health Group offers much more PTO and much longer Paternity leave.
Cons
Many of the "Data Directors" in Anthem have poor Data Literacy and Data skills- in facts it seems like that is the job requirement for the job. In general, this leads to poor understanding of software needed to help Analytics employees with their jobs which in creates a poor feedback structure and development of analytics across the entire Enterprise. Many people notice that Anthem is far behind the pack as far as the tools it uses and more importantly it's availability for all users. You basically have to be a VP to accomplish anything with IT regarding data infastature. In addition, anthem isn't willing to invest in IT software for the Enterprise...so many managers aren't willing to spend on software licenses for their team. It's a vicious cycle that only hurts innovation across the company and development of our analytics.
