God is sending you a message to work for a less terrible company

Anyone care to expand on why Optum isn’t great? TIA

Yeah - I am an Optum Alumni and even with a director level referral from the same team the recruiter rejected me at the resume drop. Kind of funny seeing as I have Deloitte / ACN on my resume which are leagues ahead of them.

Honestly Optum underpays like shit. The GL28 Senior Consultant role pays like 130-140.
Depends on the hiring manager. Some managers would screen all the applications themselves, some would rely on the recruiters to do the first level screening.
I’d have to say not all the recruiters are well-versed with the jobs unless they’ve been recruiting for that team for a number of years. I was at Optum for 9 years and had only worked with 2 competent ones. I had recruited who worked a crossed all teams and had no ideas what exactly I wanted in an applicant.
Note that the remote positions will get thousands of applicants.
Thank you. It was just a disappointing and dragging process. So, I checked out already.

Optum isn’t that great…
Lol Optum is a really low level company. You dodged a bullet.
This is a really a weird firm. They seem to be churning out positions on their job portal like 10 a day. But, after a week or two , all of them routinely get rejected. Could all these job postings be a show off for shareholders? I’m wonder if it’s a waste of time?
