Open Systems International Reviews

Cons

Salary is below average for level of education, corporate building is located out in the middle of corn fields

Cons

I'm entering at least 5 words for this.

Cons

OSI is sick environment that is truly worthy of both the praise and criticism they receive. They strive to have a good culture but fail miserably. Middle management is allowed to run the company with this heads up their rears. And senior management is too busy self serving like a fortune 100 in the 90s.

They truly are positioned to dominate the market but until Bahman (CEO and founder) gets smart enough to shake things up and hire a real CEO to scale his business, he'll never cross the 75M mark in revenue. A company cannot grow if the employees aren't growing. The revolving door effect is strong at OSI. Those that do stick around bust their tail for at least five years to earn titles such as Supervisor. Unless you're an expert Butt kisser or a blonde, don't expect a promotion.

If you're fresh out of college and just need to pay some bills and get a logo on your LinkedIn, by all means you can work here and be satisfied. But I promise in retrospect after you've worked at virtually anywhere else, you'll realize how toxic and wasteful the culture is here.

Cons

Only downside is the location and distance from the city

Cons

Monthly pay
Travel opportunities are often last minute
Training program was bulked up with information not needed for the job

Cons

Terrible location, not near anything fun or useful
Personality conflicts within upper management causes a lot of political drama
Outdated code base and few opportunities to learn modern languages - resume killer!
Low pay compared to everyone else in the area

Cons

-They are out in the middle of nowhere, the commute from any of the nice neighborhoods in the twin cities will be horrendous.
-Compensation sucks. They do have slightly above-average PTO but well below-average pay.
-Management is very hit and miss. One manager was very good and helpful but another was a total jerk and pretended to understand his products while really knowing next to nothing about them and getting upset when asked questions about it.
-They say they will give you a 60 day review but it really takes many more months than that and they don't give much else in terms of feedback.
-Their codebase is a huge bear to work with and very old.
-Senior executives are very rude and will call you into their office to cuss you out about something minor they didn't like.
-You will be looked down upon if you aren't putting in at least 50 hours a week. Combined with the bad compensation this can make life pretty miserable.

Cons

Even if they love you, they pay less than competitors, expect about 20% less. They have come to expect a turnover rate of 2 - 3 years. Life is harder in some departments. Training is limited, expect long nights up front to teach yourself the details.

Cons

With the constant growth there are growing pains, OSI could do better at planning ahead and communicating to employees to offset those pains for their current employees.

Cons

No cons at this time.
