Pros

Competitive salaries, nice work spaces mediocre benefits

Cons

Terrible Senior management leadership, except for the founder - he's a class act. During my time there I saw so many people come and go. It's a revolving door and I chalk that up to poor management. They give people management roles that haven't managed a single thing in their life. They promise work life balance but that is a lie. All they care about is how much work you can do and what it means for lining their pocket. I believe the founder once had a great vision, that seems to have become a thing of the past. The recruiting department is a nightmare to work with and I am not even going to get started on all the different levels of management that you have to deal with. It's a complete cluster. They have a lot of employees that have been there for multiple years and that's a club they don't let many people in. If you aren't willing to lie and cheat the system, you'll never be apart of this elite club. No amount of money could ever be enough to work there again. If you value your sanity, do not take a job here. Because that's just it, a job....not a career.

Thank you for taking your time to review OCI on glassdoor. We value your feedback as it helps us know what we are doing well and where we need to get better. Your review makes it clear that your experience working here was not a satisfactory one, which means we have something to learn from your feedback. While a nice workspace and competitive salaries are certainly a part of what we hope to offer, that is not sufficient. We strive to offer our team members competitive benefits and an environment that allows for their growth and development. We have a strong retention rate and are working hard to provide a long-term career path for our team. In your case, it seems that we fell short of our goals. While I am not sure when you left our organization, since the beginning of the year we've implemented a number of changes to our benefits package, including expanded insurance options. We've also implemented a responsible use PTO policy that allows our team to take the vacation time that they need. Hopefully, these changes show that we are constantly working on bettering ourselves to fit the needs of our team members. The majority of our team members have indicated that they are happy to be a part of our team. Our team members' responses to a recently performed engagement survey resulted in OCI being named as one of St. Louis' top workplaces by the St. Louis Post Dispatch. While that does not in any way invalidate your experience, it gives me hope that your experience is not the "norm" for our team. Nevertheless, your experience, and every individual’s experience at OCI is important to us and we would like to learn more. Specifically, we would like to speak to you more directly about some of your unsatisfactory experiences with our recruiting department and your negative feelings about management. If you are willing and have the time, I would love for you to reach out to me so that I can understand your perspective more fully. You can speak to me directly at the number below. I would be happy to keep your identity confidential or, if you would like to take steps to keep anonymous, that would be fine as well. I look forward to continuing this conversation and hearing about these issues or any other thoughts you may have about your time working at OCI. Best of luck to you moving forward. -- Michael Kimberlin Director of Organizational Development Disruptive solutions for a connected world.™ tel (314) 579-0066 ext 216 objectcomputing.com

Pros

An overall great group of people who understand how to work effectively with a remote distributed team. Their process is streamlined and they hold teams to a high standard. Compensation and benefits are excellent.

Cons

As is inevitable with a company of their size that needs to staff up new projects quickly, a handful of the engineers I interacted with were less than stellar. To the credit of the company's process and standards, those team members did not last, but watching them struggle while they were there was painful.

Pros

I grew as a professional while at OCI.

Cons

Lack of organizational direction and industry understanding by next generation of leadership resulting in hemorrhaging staff and multiple rounds of layoffs.
