I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Optum (Idaho Falls, ID) in Feb 2022
Interview
2 stages, one with the director and one with the VP. Each interview was individual or one on one and they were informal/comfortable. Very great people that I interacted with here.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a difficult conversation or scenario that you had to deal with?
It was ok, but the process was too long and included multiple rounds of unnecessary (imo) multiple rounds of interviews> At times, you would go weeks without any updates or check ins from the hiring manager and/or the recruiter.

Question 1
Why are you considering Optum as your next employer?
I applied online. I interviewed at Optum (Eden Prairie, MN) in Jan 2024
Interview
Several interviews. A total of seven interviews over the course of a month. All interviews were via Teams. Everyone was very nice. Then a formal offer comes and then background check, drug screen etc.
Informal, conversational interview. Questions were mostly focused around past experience and reasons for applying. First round took place virtually. Interviewer gave space to ask and answer questions. A fair amount of time was allocated. Talent Acquisition did not respond to confirm next steps, post interview. I had to seek out this information myself.
