| Health Insurance | Finance, Actuarial/ Forecasting, Healthcare | CIGNA | Bloomfield, CT | Yes | Yes | Actuarial jobs are statistical in nature, with a focus on modeling future costs, medical shocks, inflation, etc. The finance jobs are more financial management (assets, risk analysis of investments, but also managing the business). General health care specialists are less technical (i.e. less statistical), but gain exposure to many different areas. CIGNA has formal leadership programs that have rotational positions (where employees switch jobs every 18-24 months to learn different areas of the business). The programs are in actuarial work, finance, and healthcare. http://careers.cigna.com/CIGNAPage.aspx?page=54 |
