Pros

Office is a collaborative space, friendly and approachable teams. Good benefits package Good for starting off

Cons

New Technologies are hard to push into projects Hard to encourage removing old functionality and improving process with a "If it aignt broken why fix it mindset" Projects can be slow and take a while to kick off Non Technological People are in technology focused positions or dont understand the technology they are dealing with and ask for projects that either require alot of time or are very cumbersome to implement Job progression is difficult Consultants are utilized quite often, come in code, leave and knowledge is lost of projects

Pros

Pto, good company to work for career wise, good discounts on things+discount for food on site.

Cons

Overworked like crazy, I was hired a few months ago but am already looking for something else, due to the stress and constant feeling of “wow finally i think im starting to get this” all to be reminded when submitting your tasks for mentor review you either did it right or have to redo the whole entire thing from scratch that is if your mentor is even available. Depending on your mentor as well that can really damper your experience and overall understanding. Training could have been done a lot better initially with constant exposure to different task types and different material. For example Medical certifications could have been shown over and over again for us to understand if it’s complete, incomplete and what significant health condition it would be for coding. With other team members also leaving as training ended and senior team members leaving once we got assigned the writing was on the wall. I really wanted to give Unum a shot and really try to see myself here, maybe it’s just the position of leave specialist or maybe all the jobs are the same, still can’t help but wonder if another position would’ve suited me better if they allowed role transfers sooner instead of waiting a minimum full year.
