Open Systems International Reviews

Pros

1. Growing Company with a lot of young people so good first job to make connections. 2. Interesting work gives opportunities to lead a project right out of college 3. Company events 4. Free drinks 5. Health insurance and dental is pretty good. Other benefits leave a lot to be desired (see cons) 5. They give 18 PTO days to start with but only 7 holidays (pro and con)

Cons

1. They pay about $10,000 below average for entry level employees for companies in Minnesota (They do give bonuses to entry-level but it still doesn't come close to where the salary should be for the industry... ends up still being 5k-7k below average). 2. They tout that they're benefits are in the 90 percentile for companies yet they do not offer paid parental leave. 3. They make you travel on Weekends without any incentives (per diem or able to count hours traveled on the weekend to leave earlier on a different day). 4. They do not let you work more hours in the beginning of the week to leave early on a Friday. Force you to take a 1 hour lunch so you have to work for example from 8am-5pm.

Low starting salary (even for Software Engineers). It may seem that they care a lot for their employees because they are a young company, but they really dont.
