Pros

I made the decision to join OpenGov about a year and a half ago and it was the best decision of my short professional career. OpenGov is extremely invested in their employees and helping them progress their careers. Leadership is very much "boots on the ground" and works just as hard as their employees. Everyone is very committed to the company's mission. If you commit to working hard, you can make a lot of money here and progress your career.

Cons

If you want a "relaxed Saas job" do not come to OpenGov. They work very hard and have an extremely fast-paced culture. If you work hard, you will be rewarded, but you have to work hard to achieve it. I also believe the pay is slightly under market value for the complex/enterprise sales that we do.

Pros

The startup-era culture here was genuinely good — collaborative, energetic, people-first. As the company grew, so did the ego. Leadership lost what made the place work and replaced it with a top-down, my-way culture that has driven out some of the best people.

Cons

I'm writing the review I wish had existed when I was researching this company. Not checking Glassdoor before I started was my single biggest professional regret. Promotion is positioned during recruiting as a near-term, achievable goal. In reality, the criteria are vague, inconsistently applied, and rarely result in actual advancement. KPIs are set at levels that ensure most reps will fall short — creating a perpetual sense of failure that serves management's pressure tactics, not your career growth. Advancement often appears less tied to clear performance metrics and more dependent on subjective favoritism, including maintaining close alignment with or “sucking up to” hiring managers and leadership, rather than merit alone. Transparency is essentially nonexistent. Turnover in the SDR org specifically is high and ongoing, but it’s never acknowledged or addressed internally. Candidates have no way of knowing the full picture going in. One more thing worth knowing: account executives are coached during training to post positive Glassdoor reviews. Please weigh that when you look at the overall rating. “Unlimited PTO” is also not as flexible as it may be presented. In practice, time off appears to be closely monitored and can be restricted, even for high performers, based on internal perceptions of fairness across the team rather than true flexibility or performance-based trust. This makes the benefit feel more like a recruiting talking point than an actual employee perk.
