I have been working at Optima full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Very clear from day 1 that people live the company's beliefs. Being bold but with empathy, working hard to do the right thing (even when it's hard) and the notion that there is a solution to every problem clearly drive the business and are part of the dialogue every day.
Optima is driven by a good rhythm of KPIs and professional development conversations while keeping it simple so work is a focus vs. measurement. It's what you'd expect from a hard-driving, results-oriented company in the loop but up on the Northshore so if you're done with the commute to the city, this culture fits the active worker.
Cons
The Glencoe office is a thing of beauty, but we're running out of space.
Advice to Management
Keep it going, keep a focus on beliefs and KPIs, and keep sharing the goals and initiatives of the business.
Interview
Received email to tell me they were interested in discussing the opening but to please take two different assessments first. Took the assessments and never heard back from them. Never responded to my emails looking for feedback/info on next steps in interview process.
