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!"
