Optum Sr. Software Engineer reviews

Outsourcing dominates the business model. Well over half the workforce is contracted, which creates communication breakdowns and puts unqualified people in charge of critical programs. Management shows no interest in employees or customers. The priority is cutting costs, even if it destroys morale and product quality. Healthcare benefits are shockingly poor, especially given the industry. It feels like an afterthought rather than a benefit. The culture is toxic — gatekeeping and silos make collaboration nearly impossible. Job security is non-existent. If they can outsource your role, they will, and layoffs are frequent.
