Questions for software and cloud engineers

Starting with optum soon. Curious if any software or cloud engineers feel like they have overhired like some other tech companies. Another question, how is the WLB? Do you like the tech stack and day to day?

They treat employees as enemies

A premonition of becoming a target

I know several people who were cut here and who told me that they had no idea at all that they would be on the cut list, that is, they thought they were safe since they were good performers. It was always hard for me to believe that there were no... — read more

ECS being driven the wrong direction

RM and her closest allies in senior ECS leadership are running ECS into the ground. She only cares about her metrics. Her survey results and budget. Telling employees unrealistic expectations on a town hall meeting that wasn't communicated to middle... — read more

Scrooged Again

With the holiday season quickly approaching, I’m sure cutbacks will be made to the staff that have generated the company revenue in order to secure hefty bonuses for the ones that sat on their hands and did nothing. Any talk of which department’s... — read more
