Pros

Zelis used to be a great company to work for as recent as early 2018 but not any more.

Cons

The leadership from top down needs to go. This is one of the filthiest, greediest companies lacking honesty and integrity. They treat the employees horrible. Cheat them out of pay and hard earned positions, any chance moving up in the company does not exist because they bring in their friends and family members to fill the openings. Almost 4 years I gave to this company, applying for several jobs I was more than qualified for and was passed over every time for a friend of leadership or a relative who was put in the position yet lacked training or skill. Your education and experience means nothing at Zelis

Pros

Good work/life balance, generous PTO

Cons

• Excessive management layers: There are too many layers of management, many of which seem focused on self-preservation rather than supporting the team. This creates unnecessary bureaucracy, leaving employees bogged down with low-value tasks and corporate checkboxes instead of meaningful work. • Outdated technology and resistance to innovation: The tech stack is significantly outdated, and there is a clear resistance to adopting modern solutions. For example, I was penalized for incorporating AI into development work, despite other teams being encouraged to use tools like ChatGPT for less impactful tasks. Opportunities to implement cost-saving, AI-driven solutions were dismissed without proper consideration. • Unsustainable expectations for advancement: Promotions appear to be reserved only for top performers who are willing to prioritize work above all else. The expectation to “eat, sleep, and breathe” the job creates an unhealthy work-life balance and limits growth opportunities for otherwise strong contributors.
