Pros

Snacks and lunch are good. .....

Cons

1. The CEO does not have a clue how to run the company. For almost 20 years the company did not grow. Hes talks a big game, but fails every time. 2. The top leadership does not take any responsibility for their failure. They generally fire the junior developers. 3. There are serious nepotism in this company. There are few people who gets promotion every year and rest does not get raise at all.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to work - you can switch roles between database developer, UI developer, backend developer or engine developer. You ask for the role and if opportunity is present it will be given. No restrictions that a particular developer always has to work in the same area. Lot of fun perks like health and fitness perks, awesome pantry loaded with healthy stuff for fitness freaks, some very unusual luxury items like dry fruits, fruit juices, fruits, honey, etc. Multiple activities planned for team building as lot of focus on highly bonded teams. The business problems solved in different projects are very complex and working on algorithms and devising logic to solve them is very satisfying. Excellent team members with lots of knowledge and good coordination. Owing to flat hierarchy and availability of higher management who are always willing to listen to any issue you have is commendable (if any review complains about management not listening, please ignore because they probably did not reach out to them - to be heard, you need to speak). Flexible work from home policy.

Cons

For some projects work life balance gets skewed (has not happened with me yet on any form of regular basis) Some general issues faced with growing organization but nothing worth it to mention.

Thanks for taking the time to give detailed feedback. We greatly appreciate your time and effort. We are very pleased that you like the work environment, your mentors, team building activities and the management support. We have started bringing Machine Learning to Optym, and two of our projects are already using these techniques. We have not found the need for Artificial intelligence in our projects yet; as the company evolves we may find its use as well.
