Pros

I've liked most of the coworkers and people that I've gotten an opportunity to meet and work with at Optum. All treat you like a person FIRST, though they call you a resource during planning, and it's refreshing. Also, it's such a large company that you can have multiple jobs while working at one company.

Cons

At times it can come down to the bottom-line but I don't know if that is anything special
