Incredible opportunity to be part of a company unified on improving the way government works

Business Outlook

Pros

Small enough to make a difference, big enough that you don't have to do everything. Having an all-hands where any and all questions are welcome and answered by the leadership team fosters and environment of cooperation, transparency and recognition. There is no day that passes when I do not brag about the quality of the people and the amazing culture we have at OpenGov. I am proud to be able to contribute to our success.

Cons

Startup culture is not for everyone, as it requires an entrepreneurial mindset, where you are not working for a company, but you are the company.

Thank you for sharing this review! We're always working hard to ensure that our communication is clear and transparent, and we're glad that you're finding State of the Startup (aka our All Hands meeting) impactful.

Pros

Smartest group of individuals I've ever worked with. Zac Bookman is on a mission (literally) to transform how governments budget, measure performance, and engage the public. He has a clear vision, wicked smart, well connected and the leadership skills to lead Opengov. If you want to be a part of disrupting how governments finance operates then join Opengov!

Cons

Although not a negative in my mind, but you are going to work. Lead by Zac Bookman, the man leads by example.

Great Company, Incredibly Opportunity

Pros

OpenGov is chock full of passionate, smart, driven employees. The team's working on real-world problems that affect all taxpaying citizens in the nation. You'll learn more than you ever knew about our governments, and have a first-hand opportunity to revolutionize the way they operate. Everyone at the company will rally to support you, no matter which team you're on. I've never worked in an environment is 100% focused on the success of the business, rather than individual employee's personal motives. It's great.

Cons

Public Sector can be challenging, but we're figuring it out. The company has had turnover, but it's generally new hires that honestly aren't "cut out" for the job. Many have come from cushy, 9-4 jobs in 20,000+ employee organizations where it's easy to not contribute. If you're considering joining, be prepared to immerse yourself in this sector and drive results.
