Software Engineer at the worst company of all time
Pros
I currently work in Medinsight, which is a group within Milliman at their Seattle branch. There are no pros. It is literally the worst job I've had in my life. Medinsight is where software engineers go if they aren't good enough to get into any other company. - You get paid about 50% of what typical software engineers make (sarcasm)
Cons
- Software engineers here get paid what software engineers in Seattle got paid in the years 1997/1998, not adjusted for inflation. So the real equivalent is probably the year 1995. That's all you need to know. It's extremely bad. - Extremely long hours, so your already crap salary shrinks even more - HR doesn't really exist. Only thing they do is gossip and don't actually do their job. - I've heard a lot yelling, screaming, etc coming from offices between co-workers (HR knows, doesn't do anything) - I've witnessed a good amount of sexism, also a bit of casual racism against employees of certain gender, ethnic groups (HR knows, doesn't do anything) - Any decent developer doesn't stay longer than half a year as the pay is bad and they can get paid more elsewhere. The turnover rate in general among all professions is pretty bad. - Software tools are very old - Software products are really boring - "Cowboy coding" i.e. "developers" put together buggy software and call it good - Software doesn't ever really ship out, everything is always "in-progress" - Developers who stay more than a year are usually very bad at coding Stay away. I should note that the recent 5 star review left by another software engineer/developer is fake. There has been no layoff or lost client. Pay is crap. Culture is awful.
