Dream workplace!

Pros

You will be given complete freedom by the top management to bring in new ideas- right from a crucial decision making to requesting your favourite item in the pantry. Every statement of yours is paid attention to, by the top management, personally. I have not seen anything close to politics or any bad blood among any of the team members so far. The work environment is collaborative and all the team members are really helpful. The employee engagement activities include Wednesday team lunch, amazing (and healthy) food supplies, Annual retreat trips (Munnar, Kodaikanal, Goa.. so far), monthly happy hours party and every month brings a surprise! Other amazing things about this place are: Flexible work timings and work from home options Easy going and transparent processes Great work life balance Social activities Work satisfaction and team cooperation

Cons

Work pressure is slightly on the higher side but work seems like fun here.

Mediocre company

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

- Small company. Easy to get noticed if you're good. - Free Snacks, Free lunch (under $2) on Wednesday. - Work from home. Flexi-timings. - Table tennis boards, but beware, players may get targeted. - If you are mediocre, you might survive here through sycophancy.

Cons

The leaders and managers in all offices are mediocre. There is widespread nepotism, and sycophants run a mafia-like culture and can even get away with bad performance. Work culture is pathetic. Currently the company has gone into loss, so no bonuses. It's only going to get worse as per my assessment. Good talented people get fired sooner or later through politics. Ideas are stolen, your work is sabotaged. Unreasonable timelines. Impossible deadlines. Decision making is amateurish. Possible sexual harassment. Only long working hours is rewarded, not quality of output. You will see some people with red eyes due to lack of proper sleep.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are sorry that you feel this way. We do our best to create an environment free from politics, where each person can show their capabilities and be rewarded for that. Optym has grown from one employee in 2004 to 250+ employees in 2017 without any external investment, and it has been possible only due to the quality, motivation and commitment of our employees. We are very proud of them. Optym has given annual bonuses to employees for the past 5+ years based on their performance and haven’t skipped any year. We wish you the very best in your future career. We welcome any further inputs at feedback@optym.com.
