Pros

Good experience Okay job security Good industry position Easy to establish good work-life balance by setting the right boundaries

Cons

Have shifted most hiring offshore (some orgs are 60% offshore workforce currently and on pace to worsen, 90% open reqs are offshore) Poor financial systems (UHG prioritizes accounting first and healthcare second) Poor leaders (Majority of leaders get their role through survivorship rather than talent - when someone leaves, an existing next-in-line will inherit the role. Leadership talent has been steadily declining as a result and will eventually reach an inflection point)
