Pros

Great team Scope for growth and internal mobility Free lunch Flexible work hours

Cons

Company has been in the news quite a bit for various reasons. The mood in the company isn't great and the values of the company don't seem to align what the market thinks of them. Some data science work is not really data science and involves mostly building reports. Due to how big the organization is, what you do has minimal impact and you don't feel a part of the company

Pros

Difficult to say many positives, as most of the current field staff has either resigned or currently interviewing for other positions.

Cons

Office management, upper management within the company leave staff with unfulfilled promises, ineffective communication, lack of response to questions and concerns that staff members ask on a weekly basis. This office has such high turnover with obvious lack of concern by any of the higher ups within LHC group, Optum, Amedisys. These 3 companies are merging or UHC is purchasing- upper management is unable or unwilling to share exact plans which has been adding to overall anxiety, uncertainty within this office. As staff we continue to be told ‘just hang tight, things will get better’.
