Pros

Lots of opportunities within Optum

Cons

Expensive health care. My company was acquired a month before I was due to deliver my son. I had to change my health insurance from my former company's to Optum and the coverage costs more and did not cover some of my delivery and pregnancy complications. We were left with $10k in health care costs. I called Optum's HR Direct line and went through two appeals to retroactively change my insurance but my case was not accepted. I thought working for a health care company would stand behind keeping their employees and families healthy but they don't.

Poor management

Pros

Some good team managers, middle management is horrible. They are non-personal and robot-like. Probably reflects how they feel about what they do every day.

Cons

Don’t every expect a good raise. You’ll basically make what you are hired in at, or if you’re lucky, penny increases. There is no rhyme or reason, other than they don’t share the wealth, but certainly expect a lot of work done. Expect to be pushed to work a ton of overtime.
