Pros

I have been working full time at Optym for more than 3 years. Work satisfaction: Optym provides software solutions for transportation problems. It is challenging as well as intellectually satisfying. The responsibilities and tasks are assigned based on work experience and qualifications. Organization structure: Optym has a flat organization structure. The CEO, Managers, Directors always have time for employees. They treat employees as friends and family. Teams: The teams at Optym are very well-knit and have tremendous dedication towards company and empathy towards colleagues. Employee engagement: Optym management puts in lot of effort to engage employees in satisfying and motivational activities. Be it CSR, conferences, educational tours, team building activities or company retreat, the management makes it all a fulfilling experience. Health focus: Optym provides good healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks within office premises. The pantry area is always loaded with fruits and other eatables.

Cons

There is work pressure at times. However, this can be overcome through cooperation within development teams and the management. Employees are allowed to custom fit their office hours as long as their teams are alright with it. The weekdays can be tough but weekends are free like any other company.

Thanks for giving a detailed feedback and covering various aspects including Work Satisfaction, Organizational Structure, Teams, Employee Engagement and Health Focus. We greatly appreciate that. We realize that our team members need to work hard at times to meet project deadlines, but we hope that the satisfaction derived from a project well done and appreciation from clients makes it worthwhile. Keeping both clients and team members happy is our prime focus in our journey of entrepreneurship. And both are related. A happy team builds quality software products which make clients happy.

Company provides Good roles and responsibilities for an individual, so that they can advance in their career quickly and can contribute to the company growth. Mangement is always open to take feedback from the employees. Flat hierarchy, you can approach directly to CEO if you have any suggestions or improvements Benefits are really good(To name one, Optym India sponsors for the employees to play cricket every weekend). Stuffed pantry Employee friendly policies. No Dress Code(including western dress ), Work From Home, Heath and Fitness(including Gym Membeship)

Cons

As you will get lot of roles and responsibilities, sometime the workload will be higher.

Pros

It has all the ingredients of a great company. 1. Projects/ Products' work is intellectually challenging. As a engine team member, you get to work on some great algos and get to create better designs. 2. Management follows Employee-centric approach, which is the best part. Your voice is not only heard but prompt actions are taken. This even reflects in their policies for wholesome employee engagement. Team outings, happy hours, Wednesday Lunches, Annual Retreats are few examples. Even the smallest details such as ordering extra chapatis for you in team lunches are taken care of. 3. The people you work with are really sharp and helpful. Since the work is challenging so bar for hiring new members is also high. Team leads are extremely cool and since the team size is small , you get good amount of visibility. 4. Pantry : Ohh my....you'll just love this place. Name any snack or fruit or drink (non alcoholic :P ) and you'll find it. If you don't then it is just one Jira apart :) 5. The environment is very lively, courtesy to the young crowd. And hence, marriages are endemic :D. Even I got affected some time back :P

Cons

Since hiring bar is high, the work per individual is high as well. But the work is intellectually satisfying and you enjoy it. With good annual growth , temporary space crunch is there but it will soon be solved with the newer premise as management is already working on it. Work around releases gets heavy because of accommodating unplanned changes but it is applicable to every small organization. With all the options in pantry, you do tend to put on few extra Kilos.
