Pros

Storage founded by filmmakers who also deeply understood storage. Enterprise product hardened step by step with real use-cases and mission critical environments. Great sales sense and sales culture, phenomenal business partners. Subject matter experts at every level.

Cons

The scale of enterprise isnt for everyone. If its something you are interested in, fantastic, but it comes with a host of parameters and a level of rigor and expectations. Storage isn't the coolest product in the world but reliable enterprise storage in the Media and Entertainment space will introduce you to some of the coolest biggest projects and creators in Hollywood and around the planet.

Pros

The only pro about this company is that they offer a competitive salary and the benefits are amazing

Cons

My experience at OpenDrives was deeply negative, driven almost entirely by toxic leadership. The company is struggling to generate the revenue it needs, and senior leadership lacks the ability or discipline to make clear, informed decisions to turn things around. Instead of a coherent strategy, priorities shift every few weeks, creating constant churn and confusion across the organization. Sales leadership relies on pressure, browbeating, and public reprimands rather than coaching or accountability. Yelling on Zoom calls and talking down to employees is common. Several individuals in executive and senior leadership roles lack the judgment, emotional intelligence, and competence required for the C-suite, and it shows in both culture and execution. I’ve worked with many companies over my career, and this was by far the most incompetent and unstable leadership team I’ve encountered.
