I applied online. I interviewed at Optum (New Brunswick, NJ) in Nov 2020
Interview
The usual recruiter, first round then last round with hiring manager. Even thought the interview went great and you did amazing, they'll always giving the offer to someone with 40 years more experience who is completely over qualified with these COVID times. The job market is hard for everyone right now, the experienced aren't retiring because they need to continue to support their families and the recent graduates aren't getting chances to learn and gain experienced.
Standard multi stage process. Behavior and product based questions were asked. A few technical questions. Lasted for about 2 weeks.
Make sure you have your scenario matrix down.you got this!
I applied online. I interviewed at Optum (Dublin, Dublin) in Jul 2025
Interview
Interviewer read questions from the excel sheet and the whole experience was more like an interrogation, and far away from anything professional. During the whole process, one of the interviewers couldn't help himself not to show his lack of manners.
