Optum reviews

Employees are subjected to an excessive amount of overtime, resulting in the removal of their days off and mandatory 20-hour overtime shifts. Moreover, there is no provision for sick leave or consideration for personal bereavement. The lack of empathy from the management is evident as they constantly bother and text the employees, demonstrating a disregard for their well-being.

Rate of pay was terrible, at least 20% lower than industry CEO one of the worst I have ever witnessed. When he spoke via webcast about quarterly results, he would read the presentation verbatim and never raise his head to look into the camera. No charism and no ability to transfer his excitement to the employees so they could feel good about the direction of the company. This is due to his lack of charism and there was no direction of the company except try to be acquired. Like any corporate environment, but higher percentage here of employees that would not share information. Or when someone makes a mistake, own it, learn from it and move on. One of our teammates decided to blame it on me. Only been with the company for 3 weeks and I am not the kind of person to start a blame game during staff meeting. Difficult to obtain information. Terrible and antiquated I.T. systems No revenue generators Executive Leadership terrible. When Optum announce they were acquiring Change Healthcare, almost the entire Executive Leadership Team negotiated to keep their positions or one similar. No empathy towards employees and whether the would have jobs, the executives were "Me First, Me Second and Me Third".
