Pros

Good benefits and competitive pay

Cons

Optum Complex Care Management is very poorly run with a dictatorship leadership style unlike anything I have ever experienced. It is no wonder budgets have been missed for years.

Lot of politics and people in position always want to step on one another to go up and retain their empire... 3. Lot of hand waivers and people managers in general 4. Depending on where you are in the organization and who you report under is very important for maintaining your sanity 5. Too many baseless organizational changes 6. Constantly brings leadership from detached industries in the hope that they can make a difference (very rarely they do) 7. Location plays a bigger role in your visibility and longevity in the company 8. Pretends to be Agile with budget restrictions and large overhead ...

Pros

Great coworkers. Top level talent.

Cons

Micromanagement. Management does not know how to talk to people. Very unprofessional, most lack advanced education that would teach management and leadership skills. HR does nothing even when the turnover rate should tell them there is a problem. Disorganized. Cut throat and back stabbing goes on daily in leadership. Dismissive attitudes.
