The company is a great fit for people who have background in OR or Industrial engineering. The problems being solved are helping major companies around the world in the transportation industry. The benefits and compensation are very good for Gainesville FL location. The office space and facilities are great.

Cons

The focus on software engineering can be improved. You will have tough time finding a technical mentor in software engineering.

Most development happens at their India and Armenia offices. You may be expected to communicate with these teams late at night or very early Minimum 50 hour work week. You will have no trouble reaching that.

We appreciate your feedback. We are glad that you liked the smart and motivated team members, access to executives, and the perks. We work very hard to recruit the quality talent and we are very proud of them. The kind of work we do has two components – optimization algorithms and packing of these algorithms into complete applications. We focus on optimization algorithms in the US office and focus on packaging algorithms into applications in our overseas offices. We do that to reduce the cost of development and make our software more affordable to our clients. We are working on improving the work-life balance and have started conversations with our team members on what can we do to improve on this front. If you have any further feedback, feel free to let us know at feedback@optym.com.
