      Pre-Authorization Specialist Interview

      2 June 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Optum (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      Easy process. I was offered the position the next day. I have applied to multiple positions, have been previously contacted before and offered, but those positions they always low balled me. This is the first one that they gave me a decent starting rate as an offer.

      Question 1

      How I felt about this being a position where it is highly metric driven
