Pros

- Talented, fun coworkers who don't hesitate to help you and share expertise - Opportunities to travel to other sites (Goa, Limerick) - Human, understanding management (at least in my department) - Interesting, challenging work - Great values. Environmental impact, employees' physical and mental health is important, tries to have a positive social impact in the community. Initiatives for community / environmental projects are welcome.

Cons

- The type of industry it operates in makes full flexibility in working hours difficult. Still, there is *some* flexibility, and possibilities for remote work. - Wages not competitive long term - though that seems to be generalized in the software developer market - Different projects are often started too fast, by different people and end up overlapping and disrupting teams that had just started working well as a unit. That is probably a consequence of missing management links due the growth spurt the company has had in the last few years.

Optel Group Response

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. In fact, I don't run the company, it is operated by a strong VP and directors level. I am a visionary, not an operator, but I can get hand's on for a while as I am great in finding solutions. Never hire me as a General Manager !! After 35 years leading OPTEL, I know my strength and weakness. To explain the up-down, see answer to other comments... I am very strong and confident on the vision I build.. that what drive me every morning, that why I have invested over $80M in preparing the future that is kicking off now! I love what I do and I love the team I am working with. Let's go, work together to achieve great things.. and accept to fail from time to time..
