PLEASE Don't be fooled by all these 1 and 2 line positive reviews you read here that are probably posted by the HR team. OutSystems talks a good game about culture and tech but the reality is FAR different. - There was several secret layoffs waves over the last year. 20, 30, 40 people at a time but never any announcements by "leaders" - Also in the last year, almost entire C-level leaders leave. OS lost their CMO, CFO, CRO, CPO, and then CTO, also with many of senior VPs and Directors. Even the leader of AI left. - The CEO is a classical control freak who does not think he needs to listen to anyone, even after big name customers leaving - OutSystems was totally surprised by the AI boom and now marketing team is desperate trying to put the "AI" label to whatever they can to look like market "leaders" - CEO puts around himself yes-men and long-time employees who are loyal to him. Almost all product leadership is long-time Portuguese people who don't dare to question him on any thing. - Product has many many problems but no one taking ownership or responsibility to fix. Some bugs open for many years. The only answer is "more sales more marketing" - A company 20+ years old should not make employees use personal credit card for expenses. - Go look online at how many companies have OutSystems dev jobs. The number is small and dropping - Go look at OutSystems channel on Youtube. Content is YEARS old! Nothing new! Maybe OutSystems once was innovating company, but now they missed their window to be successful. Competition is good and getting better and moves so much faster, and internal culture is VERY political. Stay away!
