Pros

Good people to work with; depending on position in company, good team atmosphere.

Cons

Silos are still very much a part of TriZetto's company culture. Too much internal office politics interfering with productivity. Teams are too small for certain functions, resulting in employees leaving for better job opportunities because they feel that there is no advancement or because they are burned out..

Pros

Work life balance... Apart from that I can't find any Pros in the firm.

Cons

Management is Pathetic.. Top mgmt are given more power and they use autonomy in deciding rating and promotions... Growth is bad and learning curve is completely non-existent...

Pros

Good if you're a medical professional who wants to try out the corporate world. TriZetto gives RNs a shocking amount of latitude to make business decisions.

Cons

TriZetto hires and fires executives almost seasonally - this very much trickles down to all employees, who are at constant mercy of corporate "realignment" and frequent layoffs. The venture capital owners are at odds with the company management. Strategy changes every winter, spring, summer and fall. TriZetto attempts to sell a brand of "we care about healthcare" internally and externally - this is far from the truth. Owners simply want to cut costs as much as possible, will not fund innovation and are making sure no strategic vision takes root apart from - lets sell as much of the old claims administration systems as we can, and then the venture capital fund can cash in TriZetto and move on to something else. Enter at own risk - beware of frequent layoffs. Pay and benefits are sub-par. New headquarters are not conducive to productivity - you sit in a long row of desks with little privacy in between.
