“Initially, I was hesitant to join a new company right after giving birth, but the support Optum provides for the working new mom got me on board. Being a new mom, having pediatrician support available 24/7 via the CNH app has really made my life easier too.”

What People Are Saying About Optum
-
Leave & Time Off Breadth: Paid time off is often regarded as generous, with meaningful accrual and flexibility to use it. While practices can vary by team, the overall time-off offering stands out as a relative strength.
-
Retirement Support: A 401(k) plan with employer matching is available and generally well-regarded for supporting long-term savings. It remains valuable, though candidates should verify the current match formula.
