What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Optum?

What People Are Saying About Optum

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Many roles allow remote work and hybrid setups that help employees maintain personal commitments. This flexibility is cited as a key enabler of balance alongside competitive pay in some areas.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Certain positions, such as some nurse practitioner roles, offer flexible schedules with no on-call, weekend, or holiday duties. Some teams also observe practices like “no meeting days” and avoid pushing for immediate task completion during busy periods.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Offices and programs provide stress-relief outlets and resources, including EAP support, wellness coaching, gym access, gaming rooms, rest spaces, and organized activities like marathons and team parties. These amenities and events foster bonding and recovery during heavier cycles.
