Optum Global Solutions Senior Software Engineer 2 salaries in Chennai

Likes

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

Hikes and promotions are less. Hike will be around 10-15 percent max for good performance.. for average it will be in single digit.

1. Hybrid working model with 10days WFO per month. 2. Good skill growth and development work available.

Dislikes

1. No salary hike and variable pay since last 3yrs, if you get average rating. This is shocking as these things happen in service based companies mostly. 2. Canteen food is unhealthy and expensive. 3. NP of 90days is a setback for looking at outside opportunities.
