Really rare and healthy culture - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso OpenTent

I've never felt so seen! The first two weeks were less about the work and more about getting to let OpenTent know who we are; there were some really thorough ice breakers around our interests and beliefs! So cool that a company let's you be expressive in that way. Everybody was so attentive and caring about my interests, which was really nice because they're a little fringe (I'm an anarchist lol). There was even a member of leadership who ingratiated herself in my remote work life entirely unprompted and really became a dear friend. She checked in on me a few times after I left, which was very thoughtful. Did I mention, uh, REMOTE WORK! New York, Denver, and Puerto Rico are all well represented by the OpenTent crew! There's just something about companies with Open in the name; they're a hit! And so well connected with NYC charitable donors :)

The benefits are nothing to write home about; and their is some risk of earth-shattering psychological despair, but you get over it when you realize Didn't let me use Palantir

Wonderful place to work if you’re a seasoned consultant/engineer. Great work/life balance, and leadership that cares a whole lot about employees. Great coworkers and overall culture. Amazing benefits (they actually use the unlimited PTO). Not the best place for newer engineers that need mentorship and learning opportunities. It’s a small consulting firm without a lot of wiggle room for learning. Also expect startup vibes (ish). They’re still figuring out their processes (particularly how to make scrum work for their model), and work can be done inefficiently at times. Be prepared for lots of teamwork (too many meetings in my opinion). Overall, working here didn’t work out for me as a newer engineer, but they treated me very well in my departure and shared that they’ve learned a lot about how much they’re able to support learning. I would highly recommend working here if you’re more experienced. I might even reapply in a few years. It’s rare to find a work place that cares about its employees on this level.

Not a great place for newer/learning engineers, too many meetings (but would still highly recommend working here).
