This company no longer operates like a professional organization. The most capable leaders have left, and the remaining management is looking inward to hire their own consulting services. Gainwell is a complete mess

Well, I've seen it all now. The customer had the rights to the code, so the account is losing it up to their Git host. Now, the real shenanigans will start. I can't believe this was allowed to happen. I miss my EDS days, customer owned the data... — read more 

The atmosphere is bad enough on its own, but watching certain people get special treatment makes it even harder to put up with. It's difficult to feel motivated when the rules don't seem to apply equally.

What is everyone else seeing? Do they folks who are on the fence will now leave? This is definitely a sign for US employees. Dental and vision no change, but they are small cost. Voluntary life insurance up 70%, using same criteria as 2026.

Hired ~2 months ago. Exited today. Wow.... I have never seen such a devotion to the PMP PMBOK as if it were a religious text at the total and complete detriment to delivery and lack of any/all knowledge of the last decade plus of shift-left and... — read more 

Just got laid off this morning. Clearly this company values AI slop and outsourcing over anything remotely close to actually adhering to policy or making sure devs can actually get anything done. Only thing I'll miss is the money... and even then... — read more 

The level of skill at gainwell is shocking. Most of the people i work with seem to be pulled of the streets. We are constantly firing and hiring. But only from people within gainwell. Do you think the talent level is related to the low pay?

After months of unemployment after being cut and a brutal job search, I finally have an offer in hand. I'm still processing the fact that I can actually stop applying.

Nothing new came out of the town hall today. We continue to hear claims about how well the company is doing, while many of us see significant problems that suggest otherwise. I believe there are serious questions that need to be addressed regarding... — read more

No concerns about WFRs anymore - peaceful retirement in ~3 yrs.

Is Gainwell planning to split HMS back into a separate entity, and perhaps sell some or all of it? Service Now changes are being presented as "improving routing" but look more and more like "cut on dotted line".

I heard MT Interfaces was impacted. No idea where else in the company yet.

This account is a total it-shay ow-shay. Management (especially upper mgmt) is staggeringly incompetent and would rather play at power dynamics and cry wolf when things don't go their way even after slave driving the ever shrinking number of... — read more

Does anyone know why all of a sudden there is a huge divide between Gainwell and HMS? The messaging at first it was we are one company. These past couple of months it’s been shown we are NOT one and was verbally told to separate from them. You see... — read more 

For the folks who can't just quit. Does gain well offer a Voluntary Separation Program? I still would like to get unemployment but I cant just quit.

Any word on merit increases for this round of year-end reviews?

After years of showing up and doing my job, I ended up on the wrong side of a workforce reduction. I keep replaying it in my head and I still don’t understand why it was me. I wasn’t the one on the team copying and pasting content from free tech... — read more 

I see a lot of developer jobs now posted on the Gainwell website, located in India. I hadn’t seen that before. (then I hadn’t looked recently.)
