Pros

David Cordani has a vision, which he can articulate, like no other CEO. He is inspiring to listen to, whether it be in quarterly town hall meetings or regular videos that he distributes to the business. He empowers the employees to be and make change. However…(see cons)...

Cons

Below David, for several layers of management, it was not about the overall journey…it is about protecting their own space, their own salary/perks, and their own job. Many of the middle and senior managers in the organization do not have the knowledge or experience to lead the rest of the organization on the journey that has been laid out. That leaves lower management, supervisors, and individual contributors spinning in circles, spending time doing meaningless work, waiting endlessly for resources, manpower, or IT projects that usually don't arrive. However, at the end of the year, mediocre performance against lax objectives gives management an opportunity to tell everyone how great a year it was, while shafting the worker-bes.

Pros

I was based at Cigna’s Bloomfield headquarters and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I had the opportunity to work alongside exceptionally smart, action-oriented colleagues and business partners who were knowledgeable, responsive, and dependable. People knew their subject matter, provided direct answers, and consistently followed through on their commitments. The organization was highly professional, well-managed, and organized. The Wilde Building had a positive, forward-thinking energy that made it an enjoyable place to work. The cafeteria offered excellent food options, and the views overlooking Gillette Ridge Golf Club were a nice bonus. 30% annual bonus was greatly appreciated. Finally, I personally believed in the leadership of the CEO and the entire ELT.

Cons

During my two years with the company, I reported to three different managers, which created instability. One manager, in particular, created significant challenges for both the broader team and me. Multiple team members raised concerns with Human Resources, but no action was taken. The company also regularly conducts smaller-scale workforce reductions and position eliminations. These actions can occur across various departments and at different times, which creates uncertainty among employees. Because these reductions are small, they don't trigger a WARN Act or receive media attention. As a result, employees feel a heightened sense of job insecurity regarding future organizational changes.
