The information security engineers work every day under the fear of being let go by the management. The information security director runs the department with an iron fist and will get rid of employees he doesn't like. Many talented security engineers and managers either left or got laid off. Unless you thrive in threatening and hostile work environments, avoid working for Premera's information security department. And if you are currently working for the department, my advice is you apply for a position at other companies. The job market is hot right now and, if you want to jump ship, right now is a great time.
