Pros

I've been with the company 3 years and I'm very happy with it. Pay is competitive with Dublin, and includes full pension, life cover and full health cover for the family. The working environment is very good, air conditioned office, stand-sit desks with ergonomic chairs. All my equipment is top of the line. Fresh fruit twice a week and onsite gym. People are sound too. If you live near Carlow, no traffic to get to work!

Cons

Not too many, to be honest. Projects can be slow at times and are sometimes slowed down by politics. Sometimes it can be bureaucratic, but that's not evident in the Carlow office, more from the US side of things. I think that culture is dying off a bit though.

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.
