      Pros

      Cool location, you won't ever work there, but it was fun to visit. If gimmick benefits are your thing, this is the place for you. They've got them all. Beer kegs? They've got them. Snacks? Got'em. Cabins you can Rent? Got'em. Paid Healthcare? Got it. Being, effectively, a contractor you get to just show up do your job and go home. If you're looking for a job with less emotional investment, this isn't bad.

      Cons

      It's contracting, so you're probably going to work for some bad companies. They didn't want to pay me as much as I thought I deserved, but I took it because I thought the benefits were pretty good. While this isn't false, they're really making up for it by paying below average and crunching every penny. You're probably better off in a place that covers less, but pays and cares more. The healthcare you're getting is only worth several grand and there's a cabin you'll maybe reserve once or twice. It's not worth *that* much, it just sounds nice. I was never convinced that there was any job stability here. When I got hired they wouldn't even give a job offer until absolutely everything was nailed down with my first client. It was less about hiring me and more about getting the client to sign. The "offer" I got laid out clearly that if the client chose not to sign the company, my employment would fall through. Despite this, I joined the company anyway, and a year later the company terminated me immediately when the client decided not to renew the contract.

      Thank you for the feedback. While you make some very good points, there is quite a bit of misinformation in your review. We are very open and honest during our hiring and on-boarding process about what OPI is and how we operate. We lay it all out in front of you through multiple interviews with all levels of the organization. There is no smoke in mirrors here. It's in our best interest to hire talented individuals that truly understand our company, culture, and approach to client engagement. In fact, it's imperative to our 20+ year history of success. We do not, and have not, terminated an employee when a client does not renew a contract - unless it's with cause. Everyone is a full-time salaried employee, with full benefits, whether they're working on a client project or not. We carry a full bench and always have. 100% free healthcare is a unique benefit we've always offered, and our free vacation properties are used extensively. We're not perfect, but we sure make an effort when an employee expresses discontent about their client or experience working at OPI. I'm sure there are things we can learn from this feedback, but it is far from the norm and not accurately portrayed. --Ehren Seim, COO

      Good place to start, but not a good place to stay

      Pros

      pay OK, good benefits some very smart people. Provided work machine of choice (mac or win) Use of company cabin, if you are at the company long enough. As long as you drink the kool-aid and don't look for advancement it's not so bad

      Cons

      everything outside the benefits, senior management always looking for scapegoats. Company favorites get most of the prime jobs and bonuses. Once you are placed at a client site, you never hear from the parent company. Even if the contract position sucks, company does nothing to get you out to a better client

      Good feedback, but everything has changed for the better and none of these issues are valid in 2014. For one, we have a Consultant Lead group, who's main responsibility is communication and social events (two events per quarter for their group). We do quarterly happy hours/user groups at the office for the entire company (and we stream those events if you can't attend in person). We do monthly tech talks at our office which anyone can attend as well. Our sales staff is continually in the field meeting with our employees; most have standing coffee/lunch meetings with their client consultants. We do semi monthly newsletters and weekly company reports for the entire company. We have a corporate communication tool all have access to, which is used extensively. Communication and collaboration are some of the highest regarded services we offer our employees. We also have created more defined roles within the company to offer advancement for anyone looking to be more involved in the company. We also give our employees significant hours to do tech talks, write blog posts, present at conferences, run user groups, etc. We pay our employees to learn and be involved in the open source community, not on their own time. We do not leave anyone in the field at a client if they don't want to be there. If someone is not happy with their client, we take immediate steps to remedy the situation. We created a position (VP of Consulting Services) to help with those situations and issues. This is a high priority for us, and one we don't take lightly. We have a dedicated team and process in place for these types of scenarios. There's a reason our turnover is low and we've grown to 110 employees; we take care of our employees.

      Pros

      Great people, OPI leadership truly wishes the best for all of us and I believe them when they say they're working to make things better. For every complaint I have, it is only relative to how things used to be. Working for OPI/Improving relative to other large corps is still a great place to be. Benefits are on par at worst, great at best. People are still pretty good.

      Cons

      Improving wasn't nearly as good of a company as OPI. Things are starting to equalize between the two companies. OPI is bring Improving up a lot, but despite OPI's best intentions, Improving is bringing OPI down a bit.
