I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Optum (Eden Prairie, MN)
Interview
There were three interviews. It was, all in all, a pretty straight forward process. One was with the recruiter, two were with the specific department I was to work in.

Question 1
Typical questions, like how did you handle a difficult situation, have you ever failed at something and how did you handle it, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at Optum in Apr 2026
Interview
Took 3 rounds of interviews and passed all of it.
I was told I was selected and asked for the 3 months payslip as part of their salary approval.
Waited a month, sent multiple follow ups regarding the status and they apologize that the job requisition has been upgraded to a higher grade level, hence the job application that I'm applying to will not push through.
Easy and enjoyable interview process however contract is technically managed by an outside vendor which takes a long time to get approved. Once approved there were no problems, this just wasn't transparent up front
Process was clear, there were 3 rounds. 1 HR, 1 with the manager and 1 was a panel round with 3/4 panelists. Avg response time between rounds was 1 week.
