Working at CIGNA in Philadelphia, PA: 10 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Philadelphia, PA Area

"I worked for cigna for a short time, before I was placed they had budget issues trying to allocate me in the budget. When I was placed and on boarded there was little work to be done and I was constantly ignored when requesting to pick up some work. I was instructed repeatedly to just review the confluence documentation and learn about the different products that the team was developing. Finally after a month of reading documentation (5 times over), I was assigned a ticket. After a few short days, the department lost a massive portion of budget and I was pulled onto another team. After another month, this team lost their budget and I am facing reallocation again or temporary drop-off. Work environment is not for an individual who wants to learn and provide an impact to the company."
