Optum Associate Systems Management Analyst reviews

-The IT arm of the company now feels completely managed by finance people, who are cutting funding for and knee-capping innovation, hardening, and refactoring efforts -Management/leadership has absolutely degraded enormously the past several years - there is tangible feel that executive focus has shifted away from their employees and "doing what is right/best" to "doing what makes the most money". -Salary increases and RRP have continued to be a disappointment even when overperforming set goals (based more on feeling/nepotism than merit/value add) - barely seeing more than 1-4%. -Management and leadership does not appreciate or actively encourage process improvement, employee development/training, nor team building. Often they are active blockers to it - immediately dismissing or sabotaging efforts. Despite employee surveys and feedback for change, action is not taken and instead we are given an excuse (with little to no justification) or it is ignored in hopes that it just "goes away"
