Optimal (WA) Reviews

- Amazing people to work with. Everyone is very helpful if you aren't afraid to ask for help, and there were always great conversations at the lunch table. Lots of fun activities and the team is welcoming and tight-knit - Lots of opportunities to take charge and steer projects in a particular direction that's most helpful to your own professional growth, provided you take the initiative and figure out how to align your professional goals with those of the company - Great benefits, flexibility, and trust. Work life balance is great, and the company does things like weekly outings to the local farmers market, which is a nice break in the workday - Company encourages professional development, which I highly recommend taking advantage of.

This was my first real job after graduating from college, and I wasn't expecting much by way of leadership opportunities or real responsibilities--especially not so quickly. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my input was valued and that my work was appreciated to the extent that my responsibilities grew very quickly. Within a year, I was helping to manage a major launch. I truly feel as though the company was invested in my success there, and that I got as much from the company as I put in. I'm incredibly grateful that I got a chance to work at SR because I can see how much I grew both personally and professionally during my time here. The work culture is also pretty great - we would often go to happy hours together and play board games on Friday afternoons, which helped keep the atmosphere fun and relaxed.
