Pros
Pay rate is better here on the corporate side in comparison to mid-level agencies. The name "Cigna" on your resume is reputable and familiar. If hired full-time, take advantage of Cigna's CRG (Colleague Resource Groups), this can help introduce new colleagues and resources to become fully engaged at the company. Cigna's CEO, David Cordani, seems like a genuine leader. He's inspiring. Cigna is a fast-paced environment, and they utilize latest marketing and sales tools in the industry. The brand image of Cigna seen in its current advertising campaigns is looking bold and better from years past.
Cons
Lack of a dynamic, young professional workforce probably due to corporate politics and inexperienced mid-level managers. Lack of professional development for employees. From my experience and what I saw on my team, the mandated Development Action Plan (professional development plan) is somewhat of a joke. Manager never kept professional development meetings. Seems like senior manager wanted to move quickly to the top of the ladder and became too busy for lower level direct reports. If you're looking for a technology advanced and innovative company, this may not be the place for you. If you want your ideas heard and supportive management, corporate politics makes this very challenging.
