Pros

Great PTO package, fair salary, great add'l benefit offerings (eg, long term care, life, ad&d, etc). Worth noting that for an insurance company, the work feels more noble than others - Unum's products are literally there to help when people are facing tough situations. It's helpful to be aligned with a worthy cause for those times when typical work challenges get you down.

Cons

Rampant ageism. It's increasingly clear that only executives get to retire on their own time - others are "job eliminated." Regular restructuring results in many position cuts, even top performers - no job is safe anymore.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
