Why do you want to join Optum?
Asked in the Technical + HR stage, this question assesses whether your interest is specific, informed, and connected to the Data Scientist role. The interviewer is looking for evidence that you understand Optum's health care mission and can connect your past work to the organization's data and analytics challenges.
A strong response should use one concise example from your experience, explain the impact you created, and distinguish Optum from other employers. Avoid repeating generic statements about wanting to work in health care or liking data science. Be prepared to explain what you hope to contribute, what you want to learn, and why this is the right next step.
