Opencast Reviews
Pros
One of the very few companies that delivers on its promises. When you’re told about the culture in the interview, it’s that good and more. Very open, everyone working as a team, brilliant consultation internally, fun and lovely colleagues. Work moves quickly, it’s not bureaucratic and if you have a good idea people listen and you can make it happen. Hybrid working model is great, as is the compensation. This includes little touches like free cereal and big things like generous pension and vesting of shares.
Cons
Genuinely aren’t any for me.
