      Worst company to join [Senior Business Analyst @ Optum honest review]

      Senior business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only pro about this company is internal service being offered by transport and incident resolution team , who perform their task diligently and deserve appreciation

      Cons

      List is endless : 1. Heavy micromanagement in analytics and data science team. 2. Lot of politics 3. Internal favoritism [those who boot-lick managers receive special perks] 4. Almost null learning opportunities 5 . No visibility at all. 6. Incompetent line managers [ who claim to possess 16+ years of experience, but don't even know the basic delivery & technical concepts] 7. No project /deliverable road map 8. Be ready to see your hard work & deliverable credits stolen by your so called "career counselor" alias your line manager I can go on listing the cons, but frankly the list is endless , and this explains their high attrition rate . For those who plan/wish to join this so called "fortune 6" organization , be ready to look for other opportunities from day 01 onward , as soon you will run out of motivation to even come to office , leave about performance
