Pros

Everything is great until you start peeling the onion back and realize you were sold a bill of goods. The owner controls everything and those in the inner circle follow like spineless lemmings.

Cons

If you like shut doors and backstabbing this is the place for you.

Pros

Some high end clients who need real science and computer science ruling the solution. In general their alumni and engineers are cream of the crop scientists from physics, physical chemistry, engineering and computer science.

Cons

Farm out those they deem as consulting fodder with very little training. Admittedly expecting that people they haven't trained have the same intimate tuition their chosen ones have had due to old school tie, or prior university research teamwork. They are basically pompous, psychophants in management, with a few very influential demogues. You cannot trust them at their word, they have no integrity in management.

Pros

Being a consultant is very different than working at a large or medium sized corporation: It isn't for everyone. You have to be ok with working on different projects (sometimes at the same time). You have to be ok with a certain level of uncertainty. You have to be ok with not waiting for someone to give you micro-level directions. You need a lot of self-motivation. For the right engineer, it is liberating and empowering. For the wrong type, it can feel chaotic and disorganized. There's always new things to work on at OCI. If you want to try something new or transition into a different part of technology, they will help find a way for you to do it. But you have to follow through on your end. It isn't magic, you have to put in the work and invest in yourself as well. If you want to double-down and go deep into one technical area, they'll help you do that as well. There's so many extremely talented people here, it is pretty remarkable given the size of the organization. There seem seems to be a SME level expert in just about everything that you can go ask for help or advice. The people really do care and try their best. This goes for the engineers and all the non-technical people like PMs, BAs and administrative staff. The leadership team has made a commitment to making a place to work that is open to all. The result is a culture that doesn't tolerate toxic people. You can have healthy disagreements without toxicity. The PTO policy takes some time to get used to but is pretty good once you understand how it works.

Cons

Compensation is decent but benefits need to be improved. Employer-funded training classes need to be improved. Would love to see more events designed to bring more employees together to build connections and relationships. Remote work due to COVID made it tough to get together, of course, but maybe more virtual events. OCI has a relatively flat leadership hierarchy. For engineers who want to just be great engineers, it doesn't matter, and can actually be a good thing. For those that have a desire to move into management, there are few opportunities.
