I applied online. I interviewed at UnitedHealth Group
Interview
First I spoke with a recruiter. Dealing with this recruiter was by far one of the most unprofessional experiences I have had to date, but I let that slide. For a mid-level data scientist, the target salary was 90-95K...say what? That is far lower than any role I have been interviewing for thus far. I am shocked a large organization like United is not even attempting to be competitive with their salaries.
