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.

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.

Pros

Benefits and co-workers are awesome.

Cons

No communication between upper management. Decisions are made without facts or thought.

We thank you for your feedback. Please note when we hire a person at Optym, we need to assess the fit of that person with Optym. We need to assess whether the work ethics of that person match with our expectations, whether the value system of the person is aligned with company’s value system, and whether the person fits well into our culture. This is the reason we have the three months of the probationary period. If we feel that the person is not the right fit for the company, or the person feels that he/she is not the right fit for the company, we must part ways. We are sorry that in your case we needed to part ways due to the misfit. We wish you the very best in your new job and new career.
