Optum Employee Reviews

I genuinely love working here. The people are incredibly encouraging and truly want to see you succeed. You’re surrounded by teammates and leaders who support your growth and you get to be part of work that feels meaningful and impactful. It’s an environment where you’re challenged in the right ways and supported along your journey. At a company this large, there’s a huge amount of opportunity to explore different paths and build new skills. There are many internal roles and areas you can move into, but even within my current role, I’ve been able to do a wide variety of things. I’m a software engineer by title, but I’ve also had the opportunity to create and maintain a podcast, develop marketing materials and host panels. People really encourage you to lean into your strengths while also building new ones. I’ve only been here about eight months and I’ve already been able to grow in ways I didn’t expect.

After joining Optum, I was honestly surprised by how much opportunity there is to grow. It’s not just something that’s talked about — there are real tools, training programs and resources available to help you build almost any skill you’re interested in developing. Something that stood out to me was how supported growth actually is in practice. There are many different learning platforms and development programs, but beyond that, leaders are open to helping you find opportunities that align with your goals. Whether it’s through stretch projects, new responsibilities, or connecting you with the right people, there’s a strong focus on helping you move forward in your career.

What People Are Saying About Optum

  • Strong Revenue Growth: Consolidated revenues increased from $253 billion in 2024 to $270.6 billion in 2025, with quarterly gains such as Q4 2025 up 8% year over year. Growth was led primarily by Optum Rx and supported by steady contributions from Optum Insight.
  • Market Expansion: Expansion through acquisitions such as Holston Medical Group (August 2025) and Alegeus (July 2026), alongside earlier combinations like Change Healthcare and Atrius Health, broadened capabilities across care, pharmacy, and payments. These moves extend Optum’s platform into adjacent services and operating domains.
  • Diversified Revenue Streams: A multi-segment model—Rx, Insight, and Health—helps sustain aggregate growth even as individual lines vary, with pharmacy and technology businesses offsetting care-delivery softness. Parent-company commentary continuing to frame Optum as a growth engine and raising 2026 guidance underscores the benefit of this portfolio effect.
