Optum reviews

You may get to work from home, and they may preach about work life balance, but in the end you have to stay and get your work done. There is a lot of work. The PTO sounds great when you are hired, but if you need one hour off you either a. have to take 4 hours of PTO or b. You get to tack that hour on to your day. Even if….you have been working over an hour for many days to get work done. The national training is great, but you won’t remember it. The local training in your office can be bad bc everyone is so busy and training someone is overwhelming. Even working from home “group think” mentality exists. People still talk about someone if they don’t like them. HR refers to employees as human capital. Need I say more ? My manager did not seem supportive or nice. I could literally go on forever but it seems they have adopted new start up culture for a huge company that is not new. They need your license, not your experience. Everything is so micromanaged, you are basically a data entry specialist not using your mental health experience.

Optum/UHC does not truly care about their team’s wellbeings. They ignored team surveys, employees complaints because leaders of the business team received many formal complaints as well as complaints the employee surveys and nothing was done to solve the issues. This would never happen in any other corporations when leaders outright screamed at people in a meeting and threw curse words around, whether it is in team meeting or meeting with external clients. This level of vulgar, rudeness and unprofessionalism would never be acceptable in other companies and they would be on their way out no matter how high up they are.. Team members would rather take a pay cut than stay within the team. Noone dared to speak up or take accountability like they used to with fear of being screamed at in front of everyone. Leaders has no accountability and blame everyone else if anything does not go their way. Morale has gone downhill and people who are left still question why nothing has happened to the leaders. Work for this company at your own risk.
