Optum

In my off hours, I've spent time on US-IT Recruitment Websites warning people not to take IT Jobs at UHG/Optum because of how badly they treat them. They don't give bonuses or raises, entirely restructured their review process where you're in direct competition with your teammates if you want even a chance raises or even bonuses, and most people at the company don't know that leadership uses it to try and make people work harder.
