How’s the current environment at UHG/ Optum? I’m taking up a data position after being laid off from Meta. I have a few other safer options with lesser pay. Is a large layoff expected soon ? Confused as to what to go for right now. #healthcare #optum #uhg
Things have been going downhill the past couple years. Plenty of hush-hush layoffs over the past 1-1.5 years throughout UHG and Optum. There's a big push to move a lot of tech positions offshore over the next ~2 years, so something to keep in mind. Some teams are still pretty great for WLB though
Layoffs occur pretty much every Thursday. Big push to offshore all that they can. QOL highly dependent on team you are on, but really no place to hide. Read the Optum reviews at TheLayoff.com for the last two years or so, to get a sense of how brutal it currently is.
It totally depends on the team you get in.
We laid off strong data people and forget any stability. There could be another layoff this year
Curious to know your TC at Meta and what you were offered here at which grade level?
Don't come here. Place is a shit show from the top down. I would take a pay cut to leave if I could right now
Second that
