      On its last legs - Software Developer OpenMarket Employee Review

      Pros

      High level of autonomy on how you work. Great for a first job in London before you move onto a better place.

      Cons

      Salaries are far below market rate with management refusing to acknowledge this as the case stating that they've done market research. Senior management push out a completely new initiative every few months without completing the initial one. There was talk of getting new starters to write positive reviews online in a recruitment meeting. Refusal to acknowledge the fact that we've lost 60-70% of our UK engineering department. This coincided with zero recruitment to engineering for a 15 month period. Senior management are happy to outsource projects instead of rehiring developers in the current office. Almost no career prospects as higher level positions are closed off for more outsourcing. An almost empty office as most seats are now vacant and unlikely to be filled.

      Pros

      Work-life balance is not just a cliche, it's truly great with OM. Jonathan (CEO) is kind, inspirational, level-headed and 'gets it.' Most colleagues and execs were wonderful to work with! Salary, benefits and time-off policies were generous. OpenMarket is a well-established, reputable player in the aggregation space with solid infrastructure, respectable clients, and an eye toward the future.

      Cons

      The work-life balance scale tips toward life a little too heavily in some regards, with a lack of urgency and accountability in the name of valuing people. Speed-to-market has been too slow to meet industry standards and client demands for new product offerings. Acquisition of products and platforms was definitely needed, and hopefully resolved with Infobip!

      Pros

      Above average employees, excellent PTO and work/live balance, remote work, good pay, very little politics, management cares about employees, the company has consistently performed well year after year.

      Cons

      The market is changing and significant change is needed to maintain growth. Management is well aware are focused on doing just that but success is not guaranteed.

      Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear you are appreciating the PTO and lack of politics – I want you to know that the senior leadership team and I are working very hard to ensure our environment stays that way. Please reach out to me at jonathan.morgan@openmarket.com if you want to continue the conversation in person.
