Pros

Pays the bills! A good place to start your career and gain some experience of how things work!

Cons

Most of the things that are mentioned on Glassdoor are true, although they may sound ironic to an outsider. Read them carefully! OATI has a few old projects that have created a constant stream of stable money, but it struggles on new projects. There are very few good people working at the company, but otherwise, there are many people (read managers, as nearly half of the US office is managers) that cannot perform well in any setting. The turnover is ridiculously high! They try to hire people with the lowest possible salary, so everyone is looking for jobs a few months after they are hired. Anyone that is good enough to be hired elsewhere will leave the company and anyone who can't, will stay for a very long time, so OATI has ended up with a lot of terrible employees. The India office is the same: a few good developers but mostly mediocre ones. A project that should last one month in a typical software company will probably last at least six months at OATI due to many rounds of back and forth debugging with the India office. All other stuff are already mentioned many times here. Lost of micromanagement, etc.

Pros

Onboarding was exceptionally friendly from the moment I accepted the offer through my first day onsite. Great office culture — so many people took the time to welcome me. Positive first impression thanks to a team that genuinely cares about new employees.

Cons

No on‑site food options. Limited walking areas near the campus.

We appreciate your feedback regarding on site food options and agree this is an area we can improve. We are already exploring healthier vending and snack solutions to better support employees’ needs.

Pros

Only good Pro's are: - Good Pay - Great Benefits

Cons

1. Limited Training for New Employees: One of the most frequently repeated criticisms is insufficient onboarding and training. 2. Micromanagement: Strict monitoring of employee time, attendance, and workplace activities. Management is highly controlling. 3. Low Compensation: Low salaries, minimal raises, and limited bonuses are among the most common complaints across review platforms. 4. Limited Flexibility: There is little to no remote work options and strict attendance requirements. Difficulty balancing personal needs with workplace expectations. 5. Slow Career Advancement: Promotions and growth opportunities can be limited or slow. 6. Management and Culture Concerns: Poor communication, lack of employee support, resistance to change, favoritism, and management practices that some employees describe as unsupportive.
