Optum reviews

Lay offs are very frequent. Managers don’t really know how to develop employees so have to work on your own development with little to no guidances. Your performance is not managed so you always think you’re doing well until you’re laid off. Executive and CEO decisions trickle down rapidly without warning.

Oof. I was from a company that integrated with UHG/Optum. Since then it's been non-stop rolling layoffs since day 1. Constant re-orgs and leadership changes to adapt to, along with chronic figuring out who got laid off and who is your next POC. It's a culture of efficiency and cost cutting. Right now they are streamlining executive leadership and strategy comes from a high Optum Health level, meaning that you're just executing your day to day work and reporting into the mothership if you are an executive level. It's hard to consider a career when you could be called into a layoff meeting at any time.
