Pros
There are none. As a result of laying off some core talent, leadership has killed the pro that comes with working with good talented people.
Cons
There is no job security at this soulless, two-faced corporation. Processes and technologies that are outdated. There is a serious problem with tech debt, which makes it virtually impossible to complete a task. If you are on the fence about working at Optum or UHG, I would advise you not to do so. The following is a realistic representation of what you can expect from Optum/UHG culture. Optum is a global organization that impedes care, aided by monolithic technology to stop millions of people from living healthier lives. The work you do with our team will directly stop health outcomes by disconnecting people from the care, pharmacy benefits, data, and resources they need to live a semi-healthy life. Here, you will find a culture guided by a façade of diversity and inclusion, a small number of talented colleagues, poor benefits, and bureaucratic career development opportunities. Come make an impact on the communities we serve as you help us slow health equity on a global scale. Join us in stopping caring, stopping connecting, and allowing everyone to do what is most beneficial for themselves and our shareholders.
