Pros

No positive thing- they are changing daily even AI is mot changing the way they are changing

Cons

Despite multiple reviews and presentations, feedback remains unclear and often contradictory, leading to repeated rework. There is no defined process, no accountability, and very little respect for the team’s time and effort. Overall, the FinDevOps function feels disorganized and unpredictable, heavily dependent on individual behavior rather than clear product or business goals. Management lacks technical depth and fails to translate leadership directions—such as concepts like “vibe coding”—into any meaningful or actionable guidance for the team. There is also a noticeable spillover of personal issues into the workplace, contributing to inconsistency in decision-making. Frequent mood swings further disrupt execution, with priorities shifting unpredictably and, at times, resetting the team’s work entirely. The environment ultimately results in confusion, inefficiency, and continuous rework rather than structured delivery.

Leadership Failure Driving Constant Turnover and Chaos

Pros

Getting another job somewhere else

Cons

This is easily one of the most frustrating and disorganized companies I’ve ever experienced. OpenGov suffers from relentless turnover, and it’s not a mystery why—people are constantly leaving because leadership has created an environment that’s unsustainable. Upper management appears completely out of touch, making reactive, short-sighted decisions that ripple chaos through every level of the organization. Micromanagement is the default operating style here. There’s little trust, minimal autonomy, and a constant feeling that you’re being second-guessed rather than supported. It kills productivity and morale. What makes it worse is the nonstop shifting of priorities. Teams are regularly told to drop everything and pivot, often without clear direction or rationale. Work gets scrapped, redone, or abandoned entirely, which makes it feel like nothing meaningful ever gets accomplished. There may be talented individuals here, but the culture drives them out faster than they can make an impact. Until there’s a complete overhaul of leadership and accountability, this is not a place I could recommend to anyone looking for stability, growth, or even basic organizational competence.

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback. We take your concerns seriously. Our north star as a company is making customers successful, and we operate with a startup mindset that creates a fast-paced, evolving environment. We recognize this requires clarity, strong communication, and trust, and we’re continuing to improve how we set priorities, support our teams, and ensure alignment. We hope our recent Company Kickoff, centered on the theme of Team One, helped clarify how our strategic decisions are grounded in doing what’s best for our customers and advancing our vision of high-performance government for every community. We expect managers to stay close to the work and foster direct, honest dialogue, while also ensuring employees feel supported. We know that balance is critical and continue to invest in manager development, onboarding, and team connection. We’re committed to making OpenGov a place where people can do the best work of their careers, and we appreciate you sharing you perspective as we continue to improve.
