Pros

- You'll meet some of the most kind-hearted, intelligent human beings in the Silicon Valley - The interview process presents you with the best people at the company, and on-boarding includes a volunteer day - Unlimited snacks

Cons

- HR thinks people don't notice that every time 1 bad review is given here, suddenly 3 5-star ones pop up - Turnover is grossly high (even developers run after a few months). Burn and churn - Lack of diversity - I'm a male and still realized how bad it was for women working here - Upper management is open about the fact that they voted for Trump - Perks being cut left and right for "operation slingshot"

Pros

People at OpenGov are scrappy, curious, and kind. What struck me the most was that everyone at OpenGov is real - their personalities and answers to questions were the same when I was a candidate as when I started as an employee. This is a company that values transparency. It also feels like the whole company continues to gain momentum.

Cons

Selling and delivering a new technology solution to the government sector is an uphill battle. It takes people who are really committed to the mission, because it takes a lot of effort to be successful. There are plenty of easier jobs, just not all quite as rewarding. It seems like OpenGov is at an inflection point, meaning that the culture, leadership, even the product are changing and some of the people who enjoyed the last phase will not be excited about the next phase. It seems like that has mostly died down and people who didn't shift with OpenGov have moved on, because most of the new hires are raising the bar and very excited. I think people who are willing to speak up, remember to include others, and help OpenGov define some new strategies and processes for the next phase will be the people who enjoy it the most and make the biggest impact.

OpenGov increasingly a great place to be!

Pros

OpenGov has always been a company with a great mission. Modernizing government operations with cloud software is not the easiest thing to tackle but the company just had 100% year over year growth this past quarter so it looks like some real momentum. Product is getting better every month and the customer adoption seems to growing daily. Company has increasing management maturity and certainly a growing market opportunity selling mission critical budgeting and performance solution. Future looks very bright for selling software at OpenGov.

Cons

Government can be slower to adopt new technology but they keep what they end up buying forever.
