Pros

Optym is full of very friendly people from all over the world who love to share their culture and traditions. It is great place to begin your career, because you will find many opportunities early on to step up and take on responsibilities that push your limits. The level of creativity and collaboration that comes from the marketing team is unmatched, so more often than none, you are working on something interesting, fun and creative. They have a very strong culture of learning, giving you a structured amount of time every week to learn a new skill for your job. They care a lot about their image, so their facility is always impeccable with awesome coffee and snacks! They also have great benefits. and a great 401K match.

Cons

The work hours can get long at times. Sometimes, efforts to change the workplace culture feel forced and can dampen the mood. The tough work culture makes it difficult to work from home, or remotely without feeling guilty about it. They are actively trying to change this, but it will take time.

We thank you for providing the feedback. We are pleased that you like the culture and that people around you are helpful to you. We understand that Gainesville is a smaller city and doesn’t offer the perks of a large cosmopolitan city. However, the smaller city has some benefits too – such as the low cost of living, less traffic, safe city, and a nice place to raise a family. In due course of time, we might consider opening an office in a large city and giving another option to our team members for a place to work and live.

Pros

-- The projects to work on are challenging and there is a lot of trusts put on an individual to make decisions -- whether it be code base or algorithms -- Smart colleagues and a nice office -- Good benefits and perks (considering the location, compensation is pretty generous) -- There is a good chance for personal and company growth.

Cons

-- Its always good to have better communication between upper management and employees, probably needs a good HR. Otherwise, rumors spread and work environment becomes anxious. -- It would be great if the company hires more software architects. With growth, solutions might become unscalable with lack of proper design.

Dear Optymer, we thank you for your candid feedback which we always welcome. This feedback enables us to see us from the eyes of others, identify areas where we can do better and take actions to improve ourselves. We realize that continuous improvement is necessary for today’s competitive environment to grow and prosper. You have mentioned several areas of improvements. Here is what we are doing to address those: (i) We brought in an experienced HR Director who has started bringing best HR practices to Optym; we are confident that effective communication between upper management and employees will be restored soon. (ii) We have started monthly Pulse meetings where any employee can answer any question anonymously and every question is answered in-person in the meeting or by email by the CEO. (iii) We are in the process of hiring two more senior architects to our team. We thank you again and wish you the very best in your professional career and life.
