Optum Sr. Software Engineer reviews

* No promotions or meaningful raises * Everything has a tight budget (except for AI) * Upper management is mostly Indian and prefer Indians to all other employees * Work has become unbearable since offshoring. Turns out its difficult to communicate with people that live in a time zone 10.5 hours ahead of yours - and when communication is difficult, everything is difficult.

Micromanagement, merit based hike is bare minimum year over year. You may feel stuck at a point. No support from management, evryone's for themselves. All your hard work is shadowed and hike is on the mercy of line managers. They would only push you if at all it benefits them a wholesome. Higher management only knows you if are a good pawn at the disposal and lick any and every thing forced.
