Optum reviews

Very lean organization that leads to employees working long hours and work life balance is limited. Also, very reactive and not proactive in regards to client issues.

Considering it's a healthcare benefits company, the health benefits are awful. Other companies using UHG insurance actually get better coverage. They have a nice set of cultural values, but only pay lip service to them. Current IT management is mostly toxic, politics driven, and self-centered. Employee surveys consistently call out a lack of trust in senior management, but why should they care? They still get their 5-figure cash bonuses. Get a good salary deal when you get hired, because you'll probably never get a meaningful pay increase, and promotions are almost unheard of, unless you know and suck up tot he right people. Offshoring as much as they can. I often wonder how they get away with it, as there's a lot of sensitive healthcare info in the hands of low-paid Indian and Filipino workers.
