      Thanks for your feedback. We realize that our team members should not work on the same project for too long; otherwise, the learning and growth slows down. Our team members should work on new projects and new technologies to keep growing. About the scope creep, you are right. It does happen, sometimes due to clients’ demands and sometimes due to our evolving understanding of the business problem. We try to minimize it but we cannot eliminate it.

      Thanks a lot for taking the time to give your honest and candid feedback. We agree with you that we need to work on the architecture of our software solutions and spend more resources on business development. In the past one year, we have hired three senior architects at Optym; they are reviewing the architecture of our current solutions and finding ways to improve that. In all new software products, our architecture facilitates smaller teams consisting of multi-stack developers. Regarding business development in Australia, we will be assigning dedicated resources in Australia. Thanks again for your feedback and pointing out the areas of improvement for us.

      Challenging work, smart coworkers and a great team!

      Pros

      Unlike a lot of large companies where one's impact tends to be low, Optym provides a lot of opportunity for any individual to create impact within the organization. It solves relevant, real-world problems on a large-scale in turn creating a lot of meaningful and challenging work for the employees. Team members are well-compensated and company offers great perks like free snacks, weekly team lunches, monthly team building budgets and an annual company retreat with significant others. Overall, great place to work!

      Cons

      Projects can sometimes require long hours but teams tend to be self-driven and self-motivated to put in the work as it is both interesting and meaningful.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide thoughtful feedback. We appreciate hearing about your personal experiences and are happy to hear that you enjoy working at Optym. We are solving complex problems faced by our clients that have never been solved before. We are making impossible possible, so we agree that sometimes project teams need to work longer hours to meet deadlines, and we truly admire their hard work on such occasions. We are trying to minimize these through proper planning and resource assignment. The management has taken your advice to “always keep improving” to heart and has started several management training initiatives. Thanks again for your feedback. We welcome any further inputs at feedback@optym.com.
