The interviews were exciting, felt that the interviewers themselves were also interested. And the process and feedback is very quick, so no need to wait weeks for result. They have minimum 1 face to face interview criteria, even the office experience is very good.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Optum (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2025
Interview
Initial call with a recruiter who'll outline the interview process. Usually there are 2-3 rounds depending on the role. I interviewed with the director in the first round. The next round was supposed to be a technical coding round.
I found the interviewer to be very very rude, he had prepared a list of questions and was only expecting the answers that he would approve of.
