Business Outlook

Pros

The Pune office is expanding rapidly, offering unique opportunities to scale your career alongside the company’s growth. Management is genuinely receptive to feedback and acts on it. They invest in people managers through dedicated leadership training to ensure teams are well-supported. A truly performance-driven culture with a "zero-tolerance" policy for behavior that doesn't align with company values, ensuring a respectful workspace.

Cons

Due to the fast pace of hiring, the current office footprint is reaching its limit and will likely run out of space soon.

Excuse Me, Don’t Bring Lunch: People Are Let Go Before Lunch Break Even Starts

Business Outlook

Pros

You quickly develop resilience and conflict‑management skills because you are effectively fighting for your professional existence on a daily basis. This company might only be a reasonable option if you are not concerned about long‑term career growth or job stability, or if you already have a strong backup plan.

Cons

Hiring decisions are often driven more by close personal relationships than by skills or experience; even previously rejected candidates may be hired if they have strong connections. The environment can be particularly unhealthy and isolating for employees who join without any internal referrals. There is a noticeable “my way or the highway” culture, which discourages open discussion and alternative viewpoints. Internal politics frequently outweigh merit, so performance and capability do not consistently translate into recognition or growth.

Thank you for sharing feedback. We’re sorry this was your experience; it’s not how OpenGov operates, nor what we hear from most teammates. We’re a performance-driven culture where impact matters and strong performance is recognized and promoted.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, and we love hearing that the energy and growth opportunities at OpenGov made a positive impact during your time here. You’re right that the public sector can move more slowly when adopting new technologies, and that’s exactly what motivates us. The challenge comes with tremendous opportunity, and we’re proud to power more effective and accountable government. Thank you for your contributions to that mission!
