      Worst place i've worked at

      Pros

      Good colleagues but hamstrung by politics and senior management that would happily step on your shoulders for advancement.

      Cons

      The worst place i've worked. Extremely political with people who would claim credit for others work and happily push people aside for their own ends. Never worked for a company that talks about 'culture' so much and yet has none. Gaslighting, passive aggressiveness and behaviour that, in a normal company, would have serious repercussions for perpetrators. At Optum, if you're part of the right clique, it gets swept under the carpet. Not all of the company is like this but if you go for a job I would advise you speak to people about the team.
