          Negative Outlook

          I have been working at UnitedHealth Group full-time for more than 4 years

          Pros

          Teamwork and solidarity among individual teams is good. Flexibility to make decisions a local level if you show aptitude or high skill level. Opportunities to have a global reach with colleagues in many parts of the world. Committed clinical care for clients.

          Cons

          Company is too big and decisions are made by people half a world away. Offshoring of processes doesn't deliver any efficiency gains. Tech support is awful and frequently useless for a "Health and Technology" company. Communication of a plan or driving force non-existent. Everything is done reactively to a process or technology that doesn't work. Forward planning bogged down in politics or poorly organized processes.

          Advice to Management

          Sever Optum in Australia from UHG. Spend the money or make decisions to get technology that actually works.

          Approves of CEO

          I worked at UnitedHealth Group full-time for more than 2 years

          Pros

          There was a lot of autonomy and a wide variety of clients to work with. The variety of workers meant that there were good opportunities to develop your skills through collaboration.

          Cons

          The direction set by the business was not that clear for employees it clients. There was a strong drive for profits (which are obviously important) but the business is a health provider so there needs to be a strong emphasis on a social bottom line.

          Advice to Management

          Connect with your staff better to drive change.

          Pros

          Most of the work is interesting

          Cons

          Although they pretend to be transparent and inclusive, upper management seems to be an exclusive club with little regard for staff satisfaction or retention. In their pursuit of short term profits, they make incompetent strategic decisions and have lost a lot of extremely talented staff to competitors.

          I will preface this review with a statement you need to heed when reading this review as well as any reviews for this company -- "It depends on your area." This is a GIGANTIC company and YMMV depending on your group. Keep that in mind when reading. Anyway, I've been here only 6 months, but I think I have enough of a feel for Optum to write a review. The positives: Great work/life balance: I never have to stay...
