Centene Application Software Engineer reviews

I have been here less than 5 months and I am ready to leave. Many of my issues are the same ones others have already posted. Senior management acts as if you should be happy you have a job.

1. Stressful work environment: lots of work to do in a very short period. during this "Agile" development process, you have to estimate your tasks in hours, not but days. You have to accomplish something in every hour or you will fall behind the schedule. No padding time scheduled for any unexpected events however they always happen. So every day, you feel like you are fighting a fire after another fire and there is no time for you to catch your breath. 2. "Meet at work and work at home": The teams are moving so fast and lots of meetings are scheduled to keep everyone on the same page. you spend 4 hours in meetings and your manager expect you to do 8 hours of work. So working overtime is a common thing here. 3. Lots of "slave drivers" in management. Managers, directors, and senior management want one thing from you: get the work done and do it faster...
