      Negative Outlook
      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at Optum full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Very nice culture. People are very open and ready to help you. Very relax culture. Ability to work from home at any time provide great work/life balance. Great ESPP and ok 401k plan. 4 weeks of PTO

      Cons

      Leadership lacks IT knowledge, which creates a lot 'busy work'. Also you will feel that there is no goal to the project or that you work on insignificant or not very valuable projects. Also, it feels that there is a lot of office politics upstairs.

      Advice to Management

      Hire more experience engineers. Stop hiring 'developers' without any experience/training.

      With always acquiring other companies it seems that there is little effort in determining down-stream workflow to help mitigate workload that impacts a work-life balance and creates a lot of stress.
