Aetna – “If you can find a better place, go for it!

Jan 23, 2009

4.0

Aetna Senior Software Developer in Middletown, CT:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Good solid job if you have it (and are able to keep it... lots of layoffs lately). Work at home is allowed.

Cons

Lots of layoffs this year in IT. Large offshore presence in India, which means USA IT jobs are never really safe.

Advice to Senior Management

Realize that knowledge that's not inhouse is knowledge lost.

I agree whole heartedly. Aetna is giving up business and system knowledge for low priced off shore support. When off shore is on rotational basis (I'm told that in India staying in one postition too long is looked upon as failure), how can you ever expect to have successfully maintained systems over the long term.
