Pros

Let's cut the crap, shall we? I've been here nearly 11 years. I have empathy for the folks who wrote the negative reviews (most of whom I know personally) and understand our tendency as humans to lash out as a defense mechanism. I'm also not really down with people creating false narratives around an organization and a group of people who are genuinely good. Not perfect, but at the core *good.* A few notes if I may: - Yes, operations were inefficient which impacted energy in and results out. - Yes, there was a change in operational leadership (see above). - No, corporate culture is not dependent on one singular individual. - Accountability and micromanagement are not the same thing. I feel fortunate to be here. I've learned and grown and failed and argued and laughed and felt safe--as a young female--to do all of that freely. If you came across us in your search for a new career, talk to us and draw your own conclusions. We're nerds and don't have the skillset to put on an act for you. Oh, also, *lot* of cat people here. Take that as you will.

Cons

IT services is a high-stakes, high-stress industry. There are ways to mitigate this, but that fact remains.

Pros

Some solid people there, Vice President of HR seems to actually care about the people there.

Cons

Really went downhill within the last year, management preached that there would be no change with the Canyon Point Acquisition - that was until a mass number of employees lost there job. I wish optimal was back to its prior self, as it really did feel like a place I was proud to work at prior to the acquisition.
