Toxic leadership, poor culture, high attrition

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart, hard-working colleagues who genuinely care about doing the right thing. The mission of serving government customers is meaningful in theory.

Cons

Executive leadership is immature and fosters a toxic, male-dominated culture. Attrition is extremely high (easily 30% or more). - a reflection of burnout and lack of trust in leadership. Work-life balance is unsustainable; long hours and unrealistic expectations are the norm. Compensation and benefits are not competitive compared to industry standards. Rampant micromanagement and little autonomy or empowerment at any level. Significant outsourcing of software engineering jobs to India (which is not a good look for a company that sells software to U.S. government customers). Mandatory 4+ days in uninspiring offices undermines flexibility and morale.

We’re grateful you shared this perspective, and we’re sorry your experience at OpenGov wasn’t the one we strive for, or the one most employees tell us about. Our mission to power more effective and accountable government only works if our teams feel supported, and we remain committed to building a healthy, empowering culture where every employee feels valued and can thrive. Compensation is part of that, and we regularly benchmark our pay and benefits against market standards to stay competitive. And we hear your concerns about attrition. We closely monitor these numbers, and while our attrition rates remain in line with the broader tech industry, we always want to push ourselves to be better. Your feedback helps us get there.
