Optuminsight / Unitedhealth only cares about the bottom line
United Healthcare/ Optum insight has been making billions of dollars and their stock prices have gone up. But, they(executives) will not pay their front line employees a decent wage for working. Every year the job expectations for customer service... — read more
Can my manager see if I apply for a internal job?
Want to stay in company but switch teams. Wonder if managers get alerts that reports are looking around
Anyone here worked for OptumInsight as Software Engineer?
Would like some "insights", experiences, pain points?
I must be a fool, but Witty sounded likable on the call today.
I’m not one to be a fanboy but ge-z the dude was on point today. Not from a ‘bean counter’ perspective, but from a ‘let’s go get a few pints at the pub’ perspective. Smooth.
I'm NOT Astrophysicist
There i said it! I put it in writing and emailed it out. It's NOT in my job description and I've never held that position..... So put in a CAP.... twist the words so when you talk to the Senior VP they quote what you said. They should be fired... — read more
Toxic Management and Culture
I'm so surprised that the shareholders haven't pulled their money out yet. If they know about the upcoming lawsuits due to the toxic, discriminatory manner people are treated they would do a major reorganization starting with Sh!%#y W!#%ty.
Questions for software and cloud engineers

They treat employees as enemies
Perhaps that sounds harsh, but that's how I feel when I'm unfairly criticized. My impression is that the boss isn't trying to navigate the way to a positive outcome, but to hide the fact that he is the one of the culprits for why the work could... — read more

ECS- driven by worthless systems that don’t communicate

A premonition of becoming a target
I know several people who were cut here and who told me that they had no idea at all that they would be on the cut list, that is, they thought they were safe since they were good performers. It was always hard for me to believe that there were no... — read more
ECS being driven the wrong direction
RM and her closest allies in senior ECS leadership are running ECS into the ground. She only cares about her metrics. Her survey results and budget. Telling employees unrealistic expectations on a town hall meeting that wasn't communicated to middle... — read more

Scrooged Again
With the holiday season quickly approaching, I’m sure cutbacks will be made to the staff that have generated the company revenue in order to secure hefty bonuses for the ones that sat on their hands and did nothing. Any talk of which department’s... — read more
Meeting with a consultant?
Is anyone else out there having to interview with a consultant about your job with Optum? It's been my experience that this is almost never a good thing.
