Pros

Amazing team members hungry to solve real-world challenging problems. The team is like a family where everyone looks after the other. The team runs with a philosophy “No man left behind” Real world practical problems that are not in textbooks. Solve them and see it part of a real product being deployed at multi-billion dollar corporations. We get great Sense of accomplishment with every line of code or idea added to the product. The learning curve is very steep. You pitch to VP and sometimes C level executive during project executions. First hand learning from their thought process and experiences. There is no parallel to such learning and people struggle years to get this in large corporations. Optym is headed in an area which is rich with optimization, simulation, and AI problems. Growth is exponential both financially as well as in skill sets. Optym takes care of employees with yearly bonuses (very handsome compared to industry) and profit interest units. Most of the employees are the owners and exhibit a high sense of ownership. One of the best companies to work for in my career. Forgot to mention, Optym is Right in the middle of Florida with lovely weather, access to Beaches and Disney world. Perfect place to settle down with kids, family and a perfect Job.

Cons

Just like any other growing company, initial teething pains are there. As the company is growing, there are some new processes and policies being added; however, the good news is that everything is discussed and decided in a very democratic manner. Every opinion counts, however, democracy comes at a cost.

We thank you for the precious time you have taken to give your detailed feedback. You have been with Optym for over five years; you have seen the evolution of Optym over the years and know everything that needs to be known. What Optym and Gainesville offer to our team members is: a great place to live and grow your family, all year round wonderful weather, highly affordable housing that will be undreamt of in large cities, an exciting place to work and contribute, earn top wages and save decent money, and the potential to be very wealthy when the company reaches its target valuation. About your advice on balancing autocracy with democracy, we would like to balance best industry practices with democracy. Nice try though. Thanks again for your feedback. Keep Optymizing!

Pros

Smart and dedicated ppl. I have worked in bigger firm prior to Optym and I must say the kind of opportunities you will get at Optym to contribute to project is huge. Good work culture & perks. Optym has a vision to contribute for society by optimizing the transportation network. If you want to contribute to society with tech, join Optym and give your contribution with technology.

Cons

Projects are some times planned with tight deadlines, but this is part of job, sometime life is relax sometime on high speed train. I guess this is part of life otherwise the life will be monotonous.
