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.

Pros

Free lunch and Winter break.

Cons

This is a 'Lala' company where the CEO treats his employees as servants. They have to either fall in line or move out. He is not open to ideas. It is his way or the highway. His 2 kids are in executive roles and do NOT add any value. This is dying company with absolutely no future,
