Optum reviews

there's literally not enough time or space to express the negative experiences that I have had at this company. I have never had the feeling ever during my tenure here that anybody actually cared about me in any way whatsoever. throughout COVID especially the only words that I can really use to express how they have treated me is exploitive, aggressive, harassment and disrespect. The team I was on, as part of a state contract, really separates themselves into cliques and if you're not part of a certain click you are essentially not important to anybody and especially the managers do not care at all what you have to say or your input. they use all the right words like saying that they appreciate you that they care about their employees and that they value you contributions but in reality "management" believes they can never be wrong and that their words are the absolute epitome of correctness. a common phrase they will uses that "we are a team" however they do not operate as a team, The operate as a set of entities where one group believes they are more important than everybody else and will treat the other groups as if they're nothing and nobody. this unfortunate sentiment is perpetuated by the managers and not address no matter the circumstances. Teams actually trust care and respect one another but instead in this place they would rather exploit harass and abuse people. In My experience it was not an isolated incident but an ongoing and perpetuating circumstance of negative interactions with multiple groups within this contract.

HR and supporting functions are lazy/incompetent. One of the only multinational companies in the area that doesn't allow you to work from abroad, which is insane. Recruitment processes are nightmares for candidates. Unwilling/unable to keep up with global inflation trends.
