UnitedHealth Group reviews

Top-down management style; short-term focus at the expense of long-term planning; disrespectful culture. Ingenix, a subsidiary of United Healthcare, is extremely, extremely focused on near-term financial results. The emphasis is to never, never miss the numbers expected by Wall Street. This attitude permeates every aspect of the business. In a company such as Ingenix that requires investment in technology, research and development as well as innovation, there is insufficient willingness to make reasonable investment today for pay-off tomorrow. This results in fits and starts of activity as previously approved budgets and projects are canceled or delayed. There is also a lack of respect from senior management to other employees.

On the flip-side of the best reasons would be the people who joined the ranks because they were/are buddies with the boss or they share an alternative lifestyle or they give good hairstyling tips. The worst offenders are the people who have been with the company for a few years but back-stab if they think you are going to get something more from the company than they did. The employers are too impressed with titles and grade levels rather than checking on whether the individual has really risen to that status. A more thorough background check needs to be done to check the credentials of the people holding investigator jobs. Just because someone claims to have 30 years of experience, does not necessarily mean they are any good at the job it just indicates they are complacent and found an comfortable job niche.
