Pros

Everyone leaves a "Bad" review after they leave a place and I think a lot of people forget the great things they observed when working at their previous company. Optanix was an incredible place to collaborate with some excellent individuals while developing really interesting tools and providing an excellent level of service to an interesting and diverse customer base.

Cons

Unfortunately, Optanix has devolved into a charade of chaos, deception, ambiguity, oppression, and stress. Employees who were once "A" tier contributors are being over worked to the point where they are barely delivering 10% of their previous output. The culture demands a 24/7 accessibility that completely disrupts any semblance of a work/life balance. Engineers are being mandated for double shifts and being forced to work weekend/night shifts despite seniority due to a diminishing workforce. Meanwhile, Executive Management blames their lack of hiring on "bad reviews" on company review sites. Its gone as far as the company pandering to new hire employees practically begging for good reviews to raise their rating. It's SUPER obvious which reviews these are and is an embarrassment to the employees that remain there.
