Working at UnitedHealth Group in Salt Lake City, UT: 4 Employee Reviews

Senior Project Manager

"Good place to work and it is flexible for what I needed. I think that the overall company is run well and it has challenges inherent with any large company. Resources are always limited because of the bottom line that is demanded by share holders and requirements are always changing for the health care sector."

"Cut out the bureaucracy so things can get done faster and with less cost."

What don't you like about working at UnitedHealth Group?

"We've moved much too slowly on the integration of the Optum businesses. We've done things out of order, and that meant that good people have lost faith and started to leave."
