Pros

OutSystems is a great company to work if you're in a creative role, in marketing, R&D, HR, digital, and product management. The culture is great, and its People team tries hard to make it a productive, yet fun company that supports work-life balance. If you're in marketing, you're encouraged to be creative, have lofty aspirations, and are mostly-self-directed. Also, the product works pretty much as advertised and that's why I'm proud to work for OutSystems.

Cons

The company is R&D led, which means that releases, updates, and new versions of the product are on their schedule (usually two years or more), includes only what they want to put in it, and do not always have best interests of the customers in mind. As a consequence, the company announces things long before they're ready so that when they finally are, no one cares. Also, although the company has made strides in the U.S. market, it is still a very European company that struggles to communicate in a way that appeals to Americans, despite having Americans on its board.

Pros

This company really cares about its employees and customers. That was true before COVID, and became even moreso since then. From the CEO on down, the message has been that employees should balance their work and home life by whatever means necessary, and whatever works for them will work for the company. The company's rapid growth is pretty incredible to watch. There is a lot of push to make processes better so they are scalable. In the background there are always lots of projects going on to better support the core business. Many teams are based in Portugal, but with US presence as well. Everyone is in the same boat in terms of working around multiple timezones, and is generally respectful of local working hours. Benefits are pretty good, including the potential for equity someday. For those in the US, healthcare cost is probably better than you are used to if you are single, and about average for family coverage. Holidays are local to each country, so employees in Europe get 2 or 3 more days than the US. Those who work remote can expense phone, internet, office supplies, etc.

Cons

For those in the IT department, the matrix-style organization of most of department makes you feel a little like the "I have 8 bosses" line from Office Space. Not necessarily a severe con, but definitely leads to feeling like you are pulled in multiple directions from time to time.
