Interview
I received an E-mail inviting me to complete a digital interview a few days after applying. This was a completely new experience for me. They allow you to do a "practice round" before completing the actual interview - I recommend taking advantage of this for someone who has never completed a digital interview before. It is a little awkward at first. Anyway, I guess I did okay, because about a week later I received an E-mail from the recruiter stating that the Hiring Manger would be in touch.
This is for a telecommute role, so all of my interviews were via phone. My first one was with the hiring manager. After this interview, the hiring manager then coordinated 3 additional interviews for me, one with his boss and the other 2 with his counterparts. One interview was via WebEx, where I was asked to present some of my work. The interview process went extremely quick and everyone was very accommodating to my scheduling needs.
After I went through all of the interviews, the hiring manager very quickly (on the same day of my last interview) reached out and let me know that they would be proceeding with an offer for me. It took about 2 weeks from there to actually get the finalized details of the offer in writing.
Although the time in-between getting a verbal offer and a finalized written offer took a bit longer than what I would have liked, I will say that there was never a lack of communication. If I asked for an update, I was given one. This made me feel confident that I was someone they were serious about pursuing and it was truly just a lag in the system approval process that was holding us up.
Great experience so far and am excited to get started in my new role!
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Chattanooga, TN) in Mar 2022
Interview
I had to self identify before UHG would set up an Interview. The interview was scheduled within the week. It was a phone interview for a remote position. I was early; the recruiter was on time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had to self identify before I got the interview. After I identified my gender and race, the recruiter scheduled an interview. She asked me to tell her about myself. She asked why I wanted to work for UHG. I asked a couple of questions and she was stand-offish and said she didn’t understand my question. She lowballed the salary for this position. I asked when will they let the candidates know if they progresses to the next step. The recruiter said within 24-48 hours. Ten minutes after my interview, she sent me a denial email. It’s clear that UHG uses the Rooney Rule. They have to interview highly qualified, minority candidates but they have NO intention of offering employment. They just want to check that box.

Interview
**APPLICANTS BEWARE**
I applied online, the process took 7 weeks.
I was first contacted to self identify, then a few days later was contacted by a recruiter to schedule an initial call with the hiring manager.
The hiring manager meeting was a few days later and was extremely casual and informal.
I then never heard back from anyone at UHG. I reached out to the original recruiter several times over the next 4 weeks and finally received a response back a month after the initial conversation with the hiring manager. This was an automated email from "Talent Acquisition" that I was still under consideration and that they appreciated my patience. I had been checking my candidate portal consistently over those several weeks and my status never changed--it was always "Under consideration; additional interviews scheduled".
Finally 10 days after the automated response my status updated to "application reviewed; interview to be scheduled". This was on a Friday. On Monday morning I received another automated email from "Talent Acquisition" that the job I had applied for was no longer available and that they appreciated my time and efforts I put in.
This was by far the WORST candidate experience I have ever gone through. Their website states how they take their recruitment process seriously and really care for their candidates, but I found this process to be extremely disorganized and lacking any empathy whatsover. Will most certainly NOT be applying to any additional positions with this company (especially after reading some of the other reviews I've seen on Glassdoor).
Lengthy but good, just a series of phone calls after the video question response. Met with managers and director. Applied to many many many positions and various careers and otherwise in order to meet the minimum length requirements to use this site.
