Toxic and stressful - it's all take and no give

Pros

If you live in Dorking, it's the prettiest of the out-of-town sites. Most people really are very nice, but that's in stark contrast to the Executive Committee and most of the HR department. I note that this theme has come up in several other reviews - great co-workers, but not great executive management.

Cons

Executive Committee and some senior management go on and on about the Unum values - integrity, caring, pride, courage, commitment and accountability, without displaying a shred of any of these traits. It is also a bit worrying how out-of-touch many of the more senior figures are, both technically and in soft skills. They'll tell you very earnestly that black is white and expect you to believe it.

Very Good Company

Pros

Unum is very good at marketing their products and what they do for the community and employees.

Cons

Big company - many people in line for the same career promotion. Too big where it is harder to stand out than a smaller company.

Pros

People are great to work with; some tools are very useful; great locations.

Cons

Upper management cares more about their own pockets than shareholders. Decisions affect management bonuses positively, stock value negatively. Be careful with this group.
