UnitedHealth Group reviews

Underpaid and overworked and there are very few opportunities for growth. No real balance between work and home and no one really cares. We worked christmas and new year's eve when most companies offer these days as company paid holidays. Also, no raises in 2009, and I feel like 2010 will not be different.

As a strategy, the company is outsourcing much of their IT and work offshore. Due to the financial strains and uncertainty in the economy and in the health care industry, budgets have been severely slashed, and "new" technology work is not being performed. Administrative overhead is frightfully high, with more time and effort spent on tracking and monitoring than actual work. Budget is usually spent on fragmented, smaller projects, rather than utilizing a larger budget to accomplish a true solution...which increases the cost of operations and maintenance, instead of developing the solutions to avoid the fragmentation entirely.
