Optum Engineering - Software & QA Department Salaries in Bangalore / Bengaluru

Likes

Great WL balance, lots to learn and implement, and great culture. You'll definitely have job security here, if you're decently skilled - one of the very few product companies that are this good on these parameters..

Dislikes

...ch benefits are there, the company fails to recognize and promote decent talent. There was a monetized incentive program[apart from perf bonus] earlier, which got scrapped, the pay is on the lower end of a decent scale. There are some okay-ish benefits like medicals, annual checkups, vaccination drives, external gym membership[subsidized cult.fit]. No free food in the cafeteria :p if that matters to you..!!

There is good work life balance

Dislikes

The culture is degrading year by year. And salary hike and bonus also not good. Promotion benefits also very less. Boring culture. Not much activities from team side. Not much outings or gatherings.

Good pay and less challenging office work , better if you are planing for distance studies

Dislikes

To much managers than workers. Managers tend to get teight competition from higher management they tend to put all presure to the bottom employees its more like half cooked projects and mostly dont golive.

Pretty average in everything. To find proper work here wlb has to sacrificed. If just want to get by then this company is good. Numerous engagement activities, keep up the good work there. You will definitely find good peers. Compensation is subjective, better than most service based companies but doesnt compare to good product companies and startups. Pro tip- Just don't consider RRP as part of compensation.

Dislikes

Scrape for work. The teams are overstaffed, so politics is natural. Evenhough the salary is average, still looking at the deliverables it feels being overpaid. With a lot of hierarchy and bureaucracy, logic takes a backseat. Documentations are decent but some people are so incompetent that they will waste time by scheduling multiple calls to understand 2+2=4. Their mouths are too small to even spoon feed the complex problems. Still they get by. No one has end goal in mind so many tech discussions wander off point. Objective discussions and deep dives are rare. People are always busy for some reason. Higher management is not employee friendly. There are empty talks by leaders about wlb here, I don't think anyone really means it or they are too much disconnected from the working folks. Scheduled 1:1s are a chore and doesn't address actual issues. I suggest reach out to your work horses informally and most importantly observe their contributions. Insurance benefit is pretty dismal. Join it if you - are already content with your personal growth - are not irritated with slow paced environment. - like bureaucracy and hierarchy - are good with faking it - enjoy office politics

Guys basically optum is very good organisation, But carefully check your offer when you get a it from optum. Optum actually take other companies as their subsidiaries and those companies are shit, I joined as a software Engineer in a organisation called XL Health Private Ltd through optum. These guys are ridiculous and so unprofessional. You can find more terrible things below about this company.

... and they will dump a stack of work on you as though you are senior engineer. 4. There is no salary hikes. 5. There no HR for me actually, how can I forget that. 6. If you read review about this company you would most generous people writing like, if you are a fresher you want to learn then definitely you have join this company those particular reviews are the one ruined my 2 years. So just don't keep those in your mind. 7. So try for more opportunities I know freshers find difficult but brothers and sisters trust me you don't want to step into hell. After listening this you might think I have serious issues with my manager and all but believe me I have no issues with anyone infact I have best friends in my time and still I am in contact with them. It's nothing personal but a concern about people is what making me write this. So choose wisely.
