great place to work if you're interested in the intersection between governance and tech
Cons
Can be pretty tough to rise through the ranks and get promoted coming in as as SDR. Bit of gatekeeping among the AEs. Expect 1-1.5 yrs between each incremental role / salary increase.
They are incredibly adept at brand building, in a market with surprisingly few customer-centric brands (most competitors are proud parasites with no innovation).
Though it's too late to profit off the early initial growth spurts, the internal instability means there is ample opportunity for upward mobility if you can play politics.
Significant autonomy and a sink or swim environment, which can be a positive based on preference.
There are some incredible employees. Zac, the CEO, is brilliantly charismatic and a great storyteller - however mid level management is dysfunctional and that ultimately must fall on his shoulders.
Cons
Numerous rogue senior employees at senior levels who act recklessly and sometimes disrespectfully with no consequence.
Like any SaaS, the product is littered with issues, with a decidedly mediocre development team due to acquisitions and quick growth.
I have worked at OpenGov as a Sales Development Representative for almost six months and I've loved my time here so far. My previous position was with a corporate staffing firm where, aside from a standard 401k and health benefits plan, the employee benefits were coffee and water available in our small kitchen. OpenGov has exceeded all of my expectations as far as being a supportive workplace where management genuinely cares about your career aspirations, individual performance and achievement, professional development, and a fully-loaded kitchen area!
I view OpenGov as a place where there's great opportunity with a government tech company with a highly specialized and competitive product that works in the local government space.
Cons
Since OpenGov is a startup company, there is some influx of organizational changes.
