Vantaggi
Depending on your team/context: - Don't have a tight schedule. - Some of the team are allowed one weekday to work remotely. )Others are strictly forbidden. Why? I honestly don't.) - The office is superb. Really open space with a lot of meeting rooms and cool spaces to eat. - You can order your mail and get it deliver there. It's really handy.
Svantaggi
- Business model is a joke. Since Goldman Sachs entered with their investment their growth pressure trumps quality and sustainable growth. I have no doubt that OutSystems will crash. - Wrong competences in the wrong palces. Technical profiles are all over the place making decisions like machines. They don't have any business knowledge, nor strategic knowledge. OS engineers think they rule the world but the only world they rule is their own imaginary world. - "Ask why" is a joke. They don't even know the 5 whys technique which is aimed to root analyse a problem. They just used it because "it's cool". - They are luring the wrong crowd: junior and imature profiles who like snooker and free beers but don't care about OS business. - A lot of differences between outcontractor and internal folks. Well...guess what OS? You are not doing a favour when inviting external folks to meetings because we are working for the same thing. Right? If we put aside certain people, we have teams with no change of being equally productive because they don't have access to the same information.
