Pros

Work remote, good office space

Cons

Lack of preparation or training. Given complex projects without foundation of knowledge to draw from. Definite instant feedback if you do not do well, even if they provide the tools to succeed and that will instantly sink you. Lies at interview about how company is doing and the realities of the role. Note: if you read about the great benefits and unlimited PTO in other reviews, I just found out they have cut the PTO and reduced benefits, costing employees a lot more.

Pros

Professional Services leadership as well as the CEO are genuine and thoughtful people who support their people and have their heads in the right place. You get a consistent experience from all manager via thoughtful planning and organization from Talent/HR Departments. It's a great place to level up and understand the SPM space as a whole.

Cons

Sales are extremely inconsistent causing instability.

Pros

Fake nice Not very strict

Cons

I worked at Opensymmetry and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. Compensation was below industry standards, and when I was promoted to a senior role, the salary increase was only 2% — far from what would be expected for the added responsibility. Bonuses were inconsistent, and in many cases, never actually provided. The workplace culture was also very unhealthy. There was frequent mobbing and mistreatment, but many employees were too afraid to speak up because of potential consequences. This created a toxic environment that made it difficult to feel supported or valued. On top of that, HR was not transparent. After I resigned voluntarily, I later found out they falsely told my new employer that I had been fired, which was completely untrue and unprofessional. Overall, Opensymmetry does not offer fair pay, a healthy work environment, or honesty in their management practices. I cannot recommend this company and low pay comparing to the market
