"Being a distributed team had it's challenges, but everyone did their part to make that as painless as possible. We had well-established practices to maximize efficiency and make sure we were building the best, most stable products we could. When I first started at NodeFly, before the acquisition by StrongLoop, the code was a bit hackish, but it was typical prototype hackish and they fully acknowledged it. When better ways were suggested to do things, they were completely open to the new ideas."

Senior Developer at Wellpoint
in Columbia, MD

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Most technologically inept company of all-time!"

What do you like about working at Wellpoint?

"I had a great group of co-workers there. If only management would actually trust people more."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Run away. No, just kidding. Be prepared for lots of red tape to get anything accomplished."

What don't you like about working at Wellpoint?

"In the interest of full disclosure, I am being laid off by the company, however I have been saying these things for over two years. The upper management at WellPoint is completely technologically inept. They seem to base decisions on the faulty assumption that disk space is expensive and labor is cheap. They had a concept known as e-mail jail where if you exceeded your allotment, you would not be able to send or receive messages for 2 days. They thankfully got rid of that, but they are very unlikely to provide the proper amount of servers to allow us to have full production, test and development environments which leads to too much repurposing of servers."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Disk space is cheap, labor is not. Memorize this statement and refer back to it every time a decision must be made!"
