Pros

They have lot of money so you will get paid. More than 40 leaves You get RSU Good tech stack You don't need tecnical expertise but greater command in polishing

Cons

Don't voice your opinion if you are not aligned with the senior leadership or else you get fired same moment literally. It has been happening since many years. There is no growth in terms of promotions as this is small scale company with single product. Worst location .no parking facility Micro management has started already you will be poked for leaving early evening though there are no official hours

Pros

The company is overwhelmingly focused on sales and support, often at the expense of its technical workforce. Leadership outside of Sales Executives—such as Directors and Engineering Managers—tends to promote the image that we are a “heavy AI and tech company.” In reality, the technology stack is largely outdated, with React being the only modern tool used consistently. CTO position vacant, might as well discontinue it, LoL. No Technical Directors or Tech VPs, who needs leadership when you’ve got vibes, :-) The facts reflect a serious lack of commitment to technical career growth. There have been no meaningful promotions within engineering roles for years. Career progression stalls at the Senior Software Engineer level, with only a handful of Staff Engineer promotions and virtually none to Principal Engineer. Recognition is equally lacking; flagship company awards almost always go to Sales teams or managers, not to technical contributors. Overall, the company has shown a clear lack of investment in its technical firepower. It lacks on how to effectively leverage, empower, or retain its engineers. As a result, many highly capable technical employees have chosen to leave. I ultimately became one of them.

Cons

Poorly managed career Tech advancement options, no investment in Tech People They cater to Govts. who do not care about Tech they get, so not a place for Thriving Tech Person

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Your experience isn’t aligned with the culture we strive to create, nor with what we typically hear from our engineers. Engineering is foundational to OpenGov’s mission to power more effective and accountable government. We celebrate contributions across the company and recognize that our success depends on the strength of our technology and the engineers behind it. We appreciate your feedback and remain focused on investing in and advancing technical careers at OpenGov.
