Pros

Rarely any layoffs; it's a huge enterprise under UnitedHealth Group. Some teams offer flexible hours and work-from-home options.

Cons

Decision-making is slow and layered. Micromanagement and favoritism are common in some teams. Promotions are rare, and internal movement is often discouraged. Talent is not always recognized.
