Reviews and bonuses are lackluster, even when they have an exceptionally profitable year. PTO isn't paid out when you leave. Depends on the team you're on. Onboarding and review processes are clunky. Tech is out of date. They treat Developers poorly. I worked closely with devs and was shocked.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I enjoyed my immediate team.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people on the team made it a positive experience. Collaboration with other teams showed that's not the case across the company.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Retention. Giving women the same kinds of opportunities as men. Investment in personal and professional development opportunities. Advocating for their employees to be paid market rate.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Technology is lacking. Healthcare is confusing and UHG / UHC / Optum doesn't invest in their technology platforms and team. Management spends too much time negotiating budgets rather than supporting getting actual work done.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
It's nice to have health care, PTO, 401k. Their benefits aren't competitive. Know that if you come in as contract to hire, when you convert to full-time they'll cut a few thousand off your salary unless you negotiate to make the same or more. Negotiate to make more!
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Provide a job description. Be more clear upfront. I interviewed for a senior role, when I got an offer it wasn't senior and the pay was cut. Also, came on as contract-to-hire. Was told for months I'd convert soon; then when reviews came I didn't qualify for a salary increase. Coincidences?
