Pros

-Absolutely amazingly talented and fun coworkers -Middle management is encouraging and supportive of personal growth -Free lunch on Fridays

Cons

-Founders unapproachable and unaware of privilege -Beneifts are lacking for a tech company. High deductibles and copays, no parental leave besides short term disability (which employees had to practically beg for). -Very stingy company. -Talented people leaving/getting poached by other companies -Leadership claims “turnover is normal” however, 17 out of 80 people left so far in 2018. All extremely talented individuals who left for higher paying jobs and better benefits . -No HR and CEO referred to HR as “baby sitters” and states “we don’t need baby sitters.” -CEO also stated that it is not his responsibility to make sure all of his employees could afford a one bedroom apartment. -Middle management doesn’t get promoted like they should. -they do promote some people within but as a way to pay people less -Their 2nd floor mezzanine is not accessible to those with different abilities. Founders have no intention of correcting this unless they hire someone with disabilities or someone can’t walk up the stairs.

Pros

OpenSesame takes its mission of improvement to heart. The company has hired several people from its college internship program. OpenSesame offers employees the opportunity to grow by moving into new roles in other groups. The Customer Service group, in particular, has been a great place to launch a career within the company.

Cons

OpenSesame is a young company and is growing fast. Employees who thrive here are those who can find answers and get things done. Employees who have not made it here are those who wait for answers and don't figure out how to move the ball.

Pros

At OpenSesame, you have a wonderful opportunity to grow. I love being able to work on projects that make a difference for our customers and the development of their people. The work is meaningful and fast paced. OpenSesame has an open office environment which allows for easy collaboration between teams. The benefits are very competitive and keep getting better.

Cons

OpenSesame continues to grow fast, and as a result, there isn't always great processes in place for certain activities.
