...etitive after a few days and employees' growth might get halted because of that. Also, the compensation offered is very less compared to tech giants.

Employee centric company, with good benefits and compensation for employees, the learning curve is average, product based but work culture and working way is of service based

Dislikes

Too much politics by leadership, no promotion, no good hike , no recognition or award , people staying in the company for 15- 16 years are major decision takers , very bad learning curve , repetitive work , employees getting burnt out , proper service based culture or call center based

The project i was part of, follows a good practice. Fully agile practice which is very good in todays fast paced requirement. Inspite of high pressure of timely delivery, there is no compromise on the quality and security of code.

Dislikes

Compensation is not as par to the standards. Sometimes work pressure is high. During appraisals the same repeated things managers will tell you that we are also bound to this if you are not satisfied with the ratings

So I started off at Optum as a fresher , and let me tell you I was no good when I had started. My first project and team was really amazing and helpful. I got a chance to work with big-data tech stack. There are a lot of internal developed tools and projects , and if you don't feel good with your project you can switch teams in 1 year. You'll get enough leaves and some health benefits. There are really good internally organized trainings ranging from web-development , mobile-app development , big-data , NLP/machine learning and cyber-security. You'll be able to reach out and interact with healthcare tech - specialists and provide our ideas. You can also get some free azure trainings and certifications if your manager approves. Overall company and policies are great , but focus is on US market and Indians do suffer because of it , late night meetings , deployments and much focus is on work done by US folks rather that Indians.

Dislikes

...r US counterparts. Work is not much , until you reach production timelines . Indian managers can turn out to be bad , as they have control over your cash rewards , annual bonus and quarterly cash rewards. Finally a small note - you will have to always fight for yourself , until you sell yourself , someone else will get promotions and better hikes .
