UHG (United Health Group) came to our campus for software developer profile. Written Aptitude Round: 60 min Contained basic logic based questions. 30 problems. Difficulty Level ->Medium Written Programming Round: 30 min 1) 15 multiple choice questions. Difficulty level -> Medium-Hard 2) 3 programming problems: Difficulty level -> Easy a) You have an array of integers. Find that index for which sum of all the elements before it will be equal to sum of all elements after it. b) Implement queue using stacks. c) Find minimum value in a binary tree. 3) There were 2 networking related questions. We need to write the answers in detail. I don't remember the questions. Technical Interview 1: Discussed in detail my projects. They thoroughly went through my resume and asked questions. a) Whole database design of one of my project. Asked some SQL queries also. b) You are given a triangle with height h and base length b and a square of side length a. How many squares can you fit in triangle? Need to derive formula. c) A pattern matching problem with special characters. He wanted the full working code. Similar question: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/wildcard-character-matching/ Technical Interview 2: This interview was mostly based on my B.Tech Project on Artificial Intelligence. He also asked many fundamental questions related to AI and Machine Learning. For e.g. what is SVM (Support Vector Machines), ANN(Artificial Neural Networks), GP(Genetic Programming) and differences between them and how it is better than linear regression? He also asked few java OOPS questions. In all, my interview experience was quite nice. Both interviewers were very helpful and cooperative. Practice writing code on piece of paper. That will help a lot.

About United Health Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at United Health. LeakCode aggregates interview reports from 10+ sources, including 1Point3Acres, Glassdoor, LeetCode Discuss, Blind, Reddit, Indeed, and Nowcoder. Each report is translated where necessary, deduplicated against existing entries, and tagged by company, role, round type, and reporting date.
Use this question as one calibration data point, not a memorization target. Companies typically rotate their question pools every 2-4 months; the exact wording of a 2024 question may differ from what you encounter today. The underlying pattern, difficulty level, and follow-up depth at United Health are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the United Health interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one or two technical phone screens, and a 4-5 round on-site loop covering coding, system design (at L4+ levels), and behavioral. Reports tagged on LeakCode show the round-by-round distribution and typical difficulty calibration. To browse questions filtered by round type and seniority, use the company hub linked above.
How To Practice This Type of Question
Solve similar problems on LeetCode under timed conditions (25-35 minutes per medium difficulty). The goal is pattern recognition: recognize the underlying technique (sliding window, two-pointer, BFS, memoized recursion, etc.) within 60-90 seconds of reading. Strong candidates verbalize their hypothesis out loud before coding, then iterate based on feedback. Weak candidates dive into implementation immediately, lose time on the wrong approach, and run out of time for follow-ups.
Companies update their question pools every 2-4 months. The exact wording of any given question may have been retired by the time you interview. Focus your prep on the pattern, not the specific problem. The patterns that appear in United Health reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your United Health Round
Apply the standard interview round template: clarify requirements (2-3 minutes), state your approach out loud and confirm direction with the interviewer (3-5 minutes), code with narration (15-25 minutes), test with concrete examples including edge cases (5 minutes), discuss optimization or trade-offs if time permits (5 minutes). This template is universally accepted across FAANG and adjacent companies; deviating from it produces weaker interviewer feedback signal.
The single most predictive failure mode in United Health reports tagged "no hire": not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into code immediately. The clarifying-question check is often the first signal recorded in the interviewer's written notes.
