Pros

- flexible hybrid work - easy to coast

Cons

Worst place I’ve ever worked in my life. The average coworker at Optum was significantly worse at their job and general reasoning than at any other place I’ve worked. Also don’t bother writing your self-review. Managers write their performance reviews around a month before you can even submit your self review.
