Pros
Great team uses the most up-to-date technologies and approaches. My management makes it a fun place to work. My manager maintains hight morale in my office. They offer free beverages every day and bagels every Friday.
Cons
The initial salary compensation sucks. However, if you worked hard, it does get better when you receive your first annual performance review. You'd think that if you worked for a healthcare company that the benefits would be good. They recently changed our benefits to United Healthcare and they are not as good as what I had under BCBS nor are they cost efficient. They went up so much that the employee contribution exceeds what is the normal standard across organizations. Many of the perks that made QSSI special are disappearing now that Optum is taking a greater management role. For example, there was no holiday party this year. Finally, QSSI offers no compensation for less than 10 hours of overtime (OT); meaning you have to work 50 hours in a week before you will see comp time which must be used within 90 days. While they bill the contract for those extra hours you work, you'll see nothing from it. In other words, do your 40 [hours] and call it a week.
