Pros

Percentage based bonus PTO 401K Excellent fitness facility Updated offices, cafeteria, communal space Work/life flexibility Cheap healthy meal options Private jet between campuses if you're lucky Leadership development potential All the benefits you'd expect of a large corporation. Nice health plans, up to 5% matching 401K. Sit/stand desks. Co-workers are caring, friendly people. Renovated interior office space trading in dated cubicles for sterilized white half walls and faux wood.

Cons

People - as in you can get the distinct impression that some upper managers just do not care about some subordinates, by way of their actions or inactions. Company occasionally attempts to chase the latest trend in corporate culture. Often times this misses the mark. Mass lay-offs are often non-communicated. Technology is embarrassingly stuck playing catch-up. Work often boring, repetitive, blaise. Easy to become jaded when you're nothing but a cog in a machine. Almost too big of a company that if you're not in C suite nothing you do really matters. Not enough recognition for the people who support the business side, except, if you're a shining star, you might get sent to Disney once a year.

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
