Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, there are lots of great people to work with. This place has so much potential if they could get everyone on the same page.

Cons

Trizetto is a place that is very organization dependant. If you get in the right group, things could be great. The wrong group, and well you will be in a living hell. I was brought in as a new hire into the wrong group. Managers had very little direction, other than to change direction with the wind. Development expectations were completely unrealistic (i.e. get this new product complete in 5 months; no the requirements aren't written, no there isn't any design but you must produce something...anything for a demo every 20 days, even if you have to throw it away). My manager didn't want us to communicate outside of the group (ever!) even though we were utilizing all new internal components that weren't ready and undocumented. When you are working 70+ hours a week, they wanted more. Really?? yup!

Pros

Provides excellent growth opportunity in the respective field but relies heavily on financial services....

Cons

HR policies are not up to the mark ....Employees need to be informed prior on the issues concerned instead of letting them remain in the state of darkness...
