Pros

The company from a business standpoint is great! The people are great to work with, the benefits are fantastic and the talent that is still available at Unum is significant.

Cons

Within the IT organization, the politics at the senior management level is Stunning. The problem is so deep that it is almost impossible to deliver on projects due to the opinionated mentality of the various groups. Many of the senor managers are not willing to collaborate or partner to deliver results. This must change in the company.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
