Pros

Who would have thought working with a company looking to transform the way our governments work and their accountability to its citizens, would be so rewarding. OpenGov has a stellar management team, a Board with members who are the who's who of Silicon Valley successes, and a nationwide employee base with a deep passion for the mission. The company is amazingly transparent and goes out of its way to make sure employees outside of Silicon Valley feel part of the team. The CEO is authentic, grounded, driven to win, and a clear communicator. People are smart, caring, and want to be the best. It's a rare workplace that can assemble this many great people. There is *genuine* care for making our governments successful and not just closing a sale. It is refreshing to see our customers rave about our growing product line. I can think of no better place to work and to make a real difference.

Cons

None that I can think of.

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.
