I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Boston, MA) in Sep 2016
Interview
I was an internal referral and things went fairly smoothly. I started off with a recruiter and they screened me. Then, I had a 1:1 interview with the hiring manager. After that, we had a group interview with several peers and it was a round robin of questions. Afterward, I met with the Hiring Manager's boss. Throughout the process, the hiring manager and the recruiter both were very communicative. I think this really depends on the hiring manager but I felt like it was a very smooth process. When the offer was extended, I did negotiate and gave a range that I was looking for. They did low ball me considerably but I got the number I wanted in the end.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group (Minneapolis, MN) in Mar 2022
Interview
Good detail provided on the role. Clear hiring process was communicated. I was advised there are a lot of people applying for roles here that only a few get interviews.
I found the job posting on LI, which included the LI estimated pay range and the pay range provided by the company for certain states. I applied and the next day received an invitation to do a HireVue video screening, which is more of a performance than an interview and stressful even as a usually confident interviewee. I submitted it and a few days later I got an email asking for my availability to interview with the hiring manager. We scheduled it for a week out. In between, a recruiter called me out of nowhere and asked me for a salary range. I had put negotiable in my application, which was true. I was surprised and asked her to give me their range, which she said she couldn't do and talked around how it's so large a range that it wouldn't be helpful and again asked my target. So I gave her a number at the top of the range they'd shared for residents of CO. She said we're probably too far apart and that I should be pulled from this one and then proceeded to tell me the exact number the hiring manager is targeting that she had previously said she couldn't share and then tried to tell me that LI ranges are auto-generated and unreliable. I had to direct her to her own job description to see that it was supplied by them and ask if they're misrepresenting their salary ranges? She said she's not able to make any changes about the salary ranges posted and that she hopes this doesn't sour me on continuing to apply to the company because they're a Fortune 100 major employer. But honestly, if they don't have any feedback mechanisms to listen to their people (i.e., act on her feedback that the range they provide is not even close to accurate -- a 50K difference) then maybe the company culture isn't that great either.
