How employees describe working at UnitedHealth Group
This a great place to work.
Great job working as a team
Review from Marketing Dept
Great place to learn and Grow!
The company totes that doctors run the company, but not true. Administrators have no idea what is going on beneath them, and do not even consider the advice or concerns of individual departments. They make broad rules, with no compassion for their employees or patients. Horrible benefits as well
like any other company in the us
