Optum Review

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

opportunity to take lead on projects

Cons

Received a year-end review from management that was based on no criteria (could not come up with anything when I asked what criteria was used to determine their rating), poor visibility from management, poor work culture and outdated tech, time-wasting mandatory “learning” tasks
