Pros

Job flexibility, can still have a life outside of work. Good vacation policy, allow employees to buy up to a week of vacation.

Cons

Pay for performance culture based on a bell curve, so some employees are ranked as "needing improvement" aka poorly just due to needing rank employees. There also used to be rampant favoratism, but that seems to have ebbed recently.

Pros

Money - comp is relatively good.

Cons

Very little upward mobility, therefore people become very cutthroat and try to keep others down rather than focusing on doing good work. Also, the company's business has contracted or stagnated since 2002 (company is about half the size it was in 2002), so there is the constant spectre of layoffs and downsizing, but it's never planned strategically. Death by a Thousand Cuts, I call it.

Pros

CIGNA is a large international company, so there is much room for career growth. You can stay in your field or change careers, all within the same company. Management is extremely open to flexible scheduling, job sharing, and work at home arrangements. Feedback on performance is given monthly so the employee generally has an idea of how his or her performance measures up to what is desired. Performance objectives are extremely clear. Job security is also a big plus at CIGNA. CIGNA also takes interest in the health of their employees, promoting fitness and providing a health center for employees.

Cons

Although performance reviews are given quite often to let you know how you're performing, these reviews don't mesh with how you're compared to others in your field when it comes to raises and promotions at year end. Often, employees are rated for raises and promotions well in advance of final year end appraisals. CIGNA's benefits compared to other companies' are extremely lean, although they allow the choice of a few levers on the HRA and HSA plans (the only 2 types of products we are offered for medical coverage). We are only offered high deductible plans. I wonder if management has to choose the same products or if they have their own "executive" plans?
