What our people have to say about working here
“Even though it’s a very large organization, it’s also very flat in terms of accessibility to senior managers. You can reach out and ask anyone a question, and that creates a great culture of responsibility and work dynamic.”
“I’ve worked in corporations as well as agencies, but UnitedHealth Group feels like a middle point where I can bring my true self to work every day and it’s valued. The fact that I feel like I’m being my genuine self at work every day makes a big difference.”
“The most important thing someone should know before joining my company is that the negative stereotypes about insurance really aren’t true. Every bit of work I’ve ever done has been about making sure we’re doing the best job for our customers. We put a lot of effort into making sure they’re happy.”
“You can find everything you’re looking for here: great people, a great job, compensation and recreational activities. It’s an experience that can set you up for a great future, because there are so many ways to contribute at your job and within your community.”
“UnitedHealth Group encourages individuality, and this is important to me. In the first year, I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. My best skills got developed and I became a better person for it. At this company I’ve learned to embrace who I am and be true to myself.”
“There are three things that inspire me here at UnitedHealth Group. The first is that I work with great people. The second is the cultural diversity. I work with people that are from areas and different backgrounds that I didn’t even know existed. Lastly and most importantly, the amount of responsibility I have and what I have learned since I started here.”
