Optum reviews

Where do I begin?? The contract our team is working on fell through and I was supposed to be redeployed to another team. I received very little communication regarding redeployment, so I applied elsewhere and found something. Insurance is horrible, mandatory overtime constantly, company views you as a number. They don’t care. Micromanagement, and when you give 2 weeks notice they take your PTO away because they view PTO as a gift. What kind of company does this? I am glad to leave and never ever ever want to come back

Leadership is consumed with profit and stock price. Layoffs are ongoing and aren’t limited to new team members- entire departments are riffed with no warning, and company leaders provide no backfill or sense of direction to those that are still there. A sense of dread pervades middle management, and I saw terrific team members lose their jobs without reason, but due to cost cutting and offshoring of work. There is no opportunity for creativity or innovation, and to say efforts to change the status quo are not welcome would be an understatement. I left as soon as I was able to find a position outside the UHG umbrella, and since then, the internal strife (read the layoff) and external media due to the Change hack have made the company even more intolerable.
