Avis sur Optimy

Let me start by saying that I was the 5th HR Manager in 2 years (yes, you read that correctly) and the third in 2020. On my first day, I was asked to write fake positive reviews on Glassdoor, when I refused because I said it goes against my work ethics, the CEO answered : then you'll never reach your objectives. Great way to start. Optimy has a lot of potential and there are a lot of skilled people working there but the truth is: Optimy doesn't deserve these people. For a company supposedly active in the 'positive social impact' business, it is run by a man who has no values beside "how can I save cash" and "efficiency over humans" He doesn't care about his employees, disrespects them (as HR, I can't count the amount of times I heard him in private disrespect and even insult some of his team managers) I saw women being discriminated because they were pregnant (she's pregnant? ah no teamlead role for her then) women not being considered for a role because they're 30 years old and probably about to have kids, preoccupations about diversity only when there were too many women in a team, but not when there were too many men. I literally heard "I don't know if your kid will be more important than your work when you get back from maternity leave." Ah. Don't you dare taking a parental leave because the CEO will ask "are your holidays almost over?" Half the management team was burntout or about to be, and in 2021 alone we had 22 departures (the company is 45 people...) yet they will keep on telling you in the job ads that "we grew by 30%" and as HR you will look for the same profiles all.over.again to replace the leavers. The Sales way of working is ancient: you will be working in a call center. 250 calls a week, enjoy. Have one bad week with performance below average, and expect to be reminded you could lose your job from one day to the next. The CEO is so much into micromanagement that he goes into your tools, your documents, and changes everything, he sends about 100 emails/messages/slack per day, at 8PM, during the weekend. You can't laugh on the salesfloor with your colleagues because he will leave his desk and literally come make a negative remark (great way to bound between colleagues...) Optimy is what's wrong with the startup nation: work like crazy for a minimum pay, and don't get any recognition because "you should be happy to even have a job" Yes there are a lot of positive reviews on Glassdoor but most of them written by interns who stayed there a few months and have no idea what is really happening behind the curtains. And come on, is that normal to have 120 reviews for a 45 employees company? I met great people, but the CEO ruins his own company with his lack of empathy and his need to control everything. Pass, so much better scale up companies out there.
