I applied online. I interviewed at Optum (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2024
Interview
Besides HR screening interview, I got interviewed by one of the team members I was supposed to join, who didn't even turn on their camera during the interview. It felt like decision had already been made and a waste of time.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Optum in Jun 2025
Interview
Had 3 interviews:
- with HR
- with a hiring manager
- with the hiring manager accompanied by two senior engineers
All three times it was about my experience, the last one was a bit deeper into C coding practices
The third interview was supposed to be the final one; but instead of any communication they ghosted me completely, and didn't respond to a few messages sent to the HR cc: hiring manager. Very unprofessional and disrespectful.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optum (Boston, MA)
Interview
I interviewed with them around 2015, when one of the companies they acquired was still Humedica. Super smart people, no BS puzzle questions, just hands down practical concepts. There should be more companies like that these days man.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of question is this? They asked a lot of things. How would I choose one? One about what? Compared to what? Makes no sense to me.
