One hundred percent job security in Uhg and R1rcm. Both are doing great job. Management of Optum Uhg and R1rcm are excellent even in lock down situation. They both never cut off our salaries. Company policy of Uhg and R1rcm are doing great.

Ok first thing i have to say about this company is good for starting your career for medical background but don’t expect much salary because if you’re living like Chennai area this salary is not enough for single person

Dislikes

Retention offer

Hello, Current offer from CG - Total 21.5L, fixed as 19.4 and rest bonus Retention offer from Deloitte - Total 19.1, fixed as 15.5 and rest bonus (4L) I understand the offer is less but my manager explained that Deloitte's hikes are better in the market and on an average, I can get 15% every year with good performance. The same hikes in CG are around 5-6% so financially, my salary growth will definitely be more in Deloitte. Please give me suggestions. I have good management and projects in Deloitte with WLB but I would like to have some perspective on offered CTC too
