Competitive Compensation

Total Compensation Packages with the State of California are competitive with private sector jobs. Although private sector compensation packages may appear greater at first glance, the State of California offers a generous retirement package and health care benefits.

Work-Life Balance

OTI believes it is critical for our staff to maintain a healthy work-life balance to ensure we have happy, productive staff that love their job! A perfect balance is achieved when you can meet work commitments and deadlines, while still having time for family, friends, and hobbies!

Innovative IT Culture

We have initiated a modernization of our IT infrastructure to leverage the strength of cloud services. Our goal is to deploy flexible and configurable architectures that provide solutions to the various DMHC programs at the “Speed of Need”, rather than with a “Need for Speed”!
