Living in Castledermot, Kildare my commute is approx 15 minutes compared to 90 minutes each way to my last job in Dublin. It was a personal goal of mine to work for a Fortune500 company. When I joined I was able to see how big Unum is and how important the service is that we provide to our customers in the US. It's also great to see how an office in Ireland of approx. 130 people can contribute so much to a big US operation. Another perk is that we have first contact with any new technologies that are out there.

Senior Software Engineer

Previously I worked in IBM for 15 years. I knew people working in Unum who recommended the company to me so I waited until a suitable position became available. I was happy to work closer to home in Carlow - no more commuting to Dublin but I still get to do the work I enjoy. Unum has great people and they really look after them with benefits, career progression, etc. They also contribute a lot to the local community. I enjoy getting to work with all things data - storage and integration technologies.

IT Delivery Manager

I chose Unum after completing an Hons Degree in Software Engineering. I started as an intern and in the few years I’ve been here I’ve climbed from Developer to my current role as an IT Delivery Manager. Unum support career progression - it is the employee that determines their own future within the company. Currently I am studying a masters sponsored by Unum and IT Carlow. Before Unum I commuted to Dublin everyday from Tullow, a 5 hour round trip. Now my commute is only 20 minutes each way so I have more time to spend with my family.

TEMPLE

Test Engineer

I was initially looking at jobs in Dublin when I applied to Unum. I was living in Westmeath so it made sense to look outside of Dublin and avoid a hectic commute everyday. Since I started at Unum I moved to Naas, so my commute is pretty easy. I enjoy the flexible work hours and there’s great people here. It’s good fun while still being productive. The work is challenging, from managing legacy systems to a lot of blue sky work, etc. In 2018 I won a Unum Aspire award - the prize was a trip to Disney Florida for 4 days with all expenses paid!
