Potential, but internal competitive climate hurts progress and customer services

Systems engineer

Pros

Strong Franchise, a lot of potential to be a market leader. Good product breadth that should be able to weather whomever is elected this fall. Good presence in senior markets for example.

Cons

SIloed P&L structure will not be overcome by platitudes from senior management. Each product line and individual systems area is still incented to do their own thing. Also suffering from capital constraints - - the animal is so big, it needs lots of money just for maintenance of disparate unconnected systems, let alone innovations

If you can avoid looking at the "bigger picture" it's an okay place to work.

Pros

It's a stable job. Good benefits. I feel like I'm paid well to do what I do. Regular hours (overtime is very rare; almost never have to work weekends). My team is terrific. Well qualified people who get along, treat each other with respect, and have a good time working. I've talked to a lot of people in the organization, and everyone seems to think the same thing: good people to work with, friendly environment. The caveat being that many of the people I work with are sweet, decent, friendly and courteous; but are totally incompetent at doing the job.

Cons

It's a tough place to work, if you have a soul. It's obvious that health care is a big huge deal in this country. The fact that it keeps going out of the price range of the average citizen. You see a lot of waste and greed at the company. Not to mention that there are people in sales and upper management that get a ton of ridiculous perks. Communication from upper management to the great unwashed masses is often muddled, condescending, and loaded with double-speak. And the honest, horrible, nitty gritty? Apparently, no one in the building knows how to flush a toilet.

Getting better, but still a ways to go!

Pros

UHG offers a good PTO program in that most jobs start with 23 days a year. The downside is that if you leave the company you don't get paid out for your PTO time accrued, however if you have used more than accrued you pay the company. Seems a little one-sided to me. The other thing I like about UHG is that there are always plenty of advancement opportunities within the company. They are sometimes hard to get because you are competing with other internal and external candidates.

Cons

Work/Life balance has not always been a priority, but it is getting better. Our medical benefits are less than desirable. Charge me a little more for good coverage and I'll gladly pay it. Wearing a "choke collar" all day is a thing of the past for people that sit in a cubicle all day.
