I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optum in Apr 2021
Interview
I have completed the first round.
No response from HR. I tried calling multiple times. So finally I got to know I have cleared the first round.
So HR has arranged for second round which is manager round. In second round he just asked about me and said done with the interview.
For the status I called HR again but no answer again, At-least HR should have some basic responsibility to say the status after attending interview even though it is negative.
HR management is worst is I can say. One more thing If they are not interested in my profile they should not time waste sending mail for interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the first round it was core java and basic spring boot
Second round as I said you it was just about me.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Optum
Interview
My interview process started with a 30-minute recruiter call where we discussed my current work at Optum, my stack, and what I was looking for in the next role. A few days later I had a technical phone screen with one of the senior engineers on the team. We spent about 45 minutes on a coding problem around string manipulation and then walked through a few questions on Java concurrency and Spring Boot internals.
After that I moved to the virtual onsite, which was four rounds spread across a single day. The first round was a system design discussion where I designed a scalable order management service using event-driven patterns with Kafka. The second was a deep dive into React and Next.js, covering rendering strategies, state management, and how I would structure a large frontend codebase. The third was a hands-on coding round on a shared editor where I built out a small API with proper validation and error handling. The final round was behavioral, focused on cross-team collaboration, conflict resolution, and how I approach mentoring.
I got feedback within a week, followed by a hiring manager wrap-up and an offer conversation shortly after.
