      Laid Off While Doing 2 Roles | Paid for One

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits and nice coffee machine

      Cons

      Long time for minimal raise. Got laid off even though I was in two seperate roles (without additional pay). The company didn't even know I was part of another role/team and were a whole day late to invited me to our team meeting where the team was cut. I regret giving them 7 years of my life. I regret barely being able to afford to live all these years and having nothing to show for it. I hope they get sued to oblivion.

      Optum, or UnitedHealth, is a big machine and to them, so are you

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A paycheck, some good people there, and not much else.

      Cons

      Everything is a con, and a con job. You will live and breathe work. Try to take a vacation, I dare you. Never get sick. Employees are treated like machines without clear directives. Offshore employees are treated far worse. Their mantra is doing your life's best work, so sad. Think about it, insurance company and care provider all bundled together. Your doctor works for UnitedHealth Group. Most stressful, depressing, and life draining job I ever had. First job I have ever left with no other job lined up.
