Zelis reviews

Zelis acquired dozens of US companies over the last 10-15 years, which is fine. But then they did a major re-org and mixed different teams around, which is also fine. What isn't fine is that they did stacked rankings and put the lowest performers into "US support" with India teams. Then once those India teams learned how do to the role, that lower performer was fired. Stay with me here. You're not safe even if you're a top performer. The top performers were moved to a new team as well. Now that they previous tier is done being offshored to India, Zelis is working on offshoring the middle and top performers too. There is no safe job in America for Zelis. They want to offshore everyone. It's not AI taking your job, it is executive decisions by top leadership to replace American workers with offshore workers. This is not India's fault. They are just trying to make a living. I understand that. The issue is leadership taking all these US companies and turning them into foreign companies. On top of that, executive leadership is having an active stake in major software projects that they do not understand. They are constantly changing direction of who is in charge, what team is doing what. Every software developer, engineer, database architect, you name it is not happy with this. We are taking 3x as long to meet deadlines because we have to train offshore teams. There is a ton of in-house knowledge and legacy systems that offshore teams do not know well. And once they do, you will be laid off. Doesn't matter how long you've worked here or how well you did on X team or Y project. If you get acquired by Zelis, start applying for jobs to leave ASAP. Any developer or engineer who leaves is being replaced with offshore, India teams.

They will let you go in a heartbeat. I’d seen it happen to others, and still I foolishly believed all the phony culture-washing that they push day in and day out, as well as boasting about this being a “top place to work in NJ”. Then it spread to my team. Please don’t fall for this. Leadership is quite aloof with a CEO who doesn’t even say hello to fellow employees, even during these so-called culture-building events. Bain Capital… The strategy is also haphazard with a number of products from various acquired firms over the years and they don’t seem to know which one to focus on. Either that or it’s a catch and kill philosophy, where they acquire you and basically ignore or then let your hard-earned product die on the vine. They continue to hire overseas which is absolutely fine, but in this case it’s more to slowly replace what they appear to consider the overpaid staff who helped build the company to what it is, and do so without any acknowledgment. I am still in touch with a lot of folks who work there and the majority are also looking for a way out, which is sad considering how tight knit we all were at various points in the past.
