My experience was a good experience. I got to see and understand the way that Cigna works and meet tons of people. I worked in the operations division at Cigna. I will not be staying on. Instead, I will be working within their sales department this coming June.

There was definitely a period of acclimation. Initially, I was confused at the layout of the desks, and I had to use ‘landmarks’ to find my way to and from my desk. Along with understanding the layout, the acronyms was something that took time. Luckily, the company intranet provided wonderful resources to get up too speed for everything Cigna…[Read more]

The reason that I was drawn towards the MIS degree is because of one of my favorite authors; Malcolm Gladwell. Once I read his novel ‘Outliers’ I was sold on the importance of data. The unseen and underlying […]
