I worked for Tableau prior to the Salesforce acquisition and we had awesome health insurance (Premera). Salesforce has really bad health insurance (Aetna, United Healthcare, and Delta Dental of California). It turns out these sorts of benefits are material. What does your company offer? How good is it?
My experience has taught me, bigger company have worse benefits in terms of health care coverage. My previous start up had 100% employee covered health, vision and dental. Healthcare type ppo with 4K out of pocket max per year, Dental type was ppo with Metlife and the co-pay percentage was 10 percent(which is really good compared to usual 30 percent co-pay).
The insurance company is not that important. The plan itself is. There are great and poor Aetna and United plans out there. Premara has smaller networks. Typically bigger companies offer better plans with lower out of pocket costs as they have more negotiating power given number of employees buying them.
How's Premera any better than Aetna? Amazon has both Premera and Aetna, but many areas Aetna is more popular. The plans themselves are identical. But Aetna has more coverage in some areas than Premera. Aetna app and website suck, however.
Premera is only available in WA and AK, so it is really good in those regions. Everywhere else would be out of network for it. So YMMV depending on where you’re located.
What's so special about it? Is their app or website better than the rest? The plans are 100% identical between Premera and Aetna at Amazon.
Op, how much did you make in Tableau acquisition ?
