What don't you like about working at Wellpoint?

"The culture of the office in San Diego was one of groupthink. It felt hostile and intimidating. As if everyone was walking on eggshells and gotcha was in the air.

So much hierarchical leadership, hence incredible ingratiating activities toward leadership, it was uncomfortable for this RN."
