Pros

Everyone at OVRSEA is intelligent, talented but also very kind and humble. The company has a great culture of feedback, pedagogy and excellence, and you can feel it from the beginning of your recruitment process, to your everyday job or interactions with everyone. This is definitely one of the best environment to work in, both technically and humanly.

Cons

The business may not seem like the most attractive at first.

Pros

A nice office with great coffee and snacks but when it comes down to it none of that matters.

Cons

Do not work here. I was completely lied to during the interview process about growth and opportunities. There is absolutely no management or sales leadership here. They hire based on fancy titles and fancy schools when management has no idea what is going on or how to sell a single thing. During my short time there we had one single team outing that wasn't even joined by leadership-no culture at all! I requested to speak with executives about all of these issues and was put on the back burner until being laid off two weeks later along with the rest of the sales team in NY. So many deals lost from NY leadership truly not knowing how to do anything. Leadership really should have been let go not those with the most sales experience & actually brought in more revenue. Leadership would also hide away in a phone booth all day long not engaging with the team. I could go on and on about the poor leadership.
