Optum has a slow paced work environment, which helps you focus on your personal life and goals so you dont have to overwork as in the case of other technology firms

Dislikes

There’s a company wide policy of extremely low hikes and pay grade. The company is not good for your personal and career growth.

So I started off at Optum as a fresher , and let me tell you I was no good when I had started. My first project and team was really amazing and helpful. I got a chance to work with big-data tech stack. There are a lot of internal developed tools and projects , and if you don't feel good with your project you can switch teams in 1 year. You'll get enough leaves and some health benefits. There are really good internally organized trainings ranging from web-development , mobile-app development , big-data , NLP/machine learning and cyber-security. You'll be able to reach out and interact with healthcare tech - specialists and provide our ideas. You can also get some free azure trainings and certifications if your manager approves. Overall company and policies are great , but focus is on US market and Indians do suffer because of it , late night meetings , deployments and much focus is on work done by US folks rather that Indians.

Dislikes

...r US counterparts. Work is not much , until you reach production timelines . Indian managers can turn out to be bad , as they have control over your cash rewards , annual bonus and quarterly cash rewards. Finally a small note - you will have to always fight for yourself , until you sell yourself , someone else will get promotions and better hikes .

I have been working for past 1 year and has gained a lot of knowledge. Skills development is great in UHG, but still it depends on the team you are given.

Dislikes

Salary hikes are bad, very bad. They don’t even touch inflation rate !

Dislikes

No employee benefits, huge difference in Compensation of what they said and what we get. No proper shift timings. Since it is working from home work life balance is nill.

It's a good experience but depends upon the team. Pay is less comparatively and a fresher might be earning way more than you earn.

Dislikes

Not much work and slow paced but this gives you ample time to or prepare. Less hikes
