Cons

I worked at Open for more than 5 years, HR is a department dedicated to everything but taking care of the company employees. The organizational culture is focused on making you believe that you are not worth anything as a professional and that the low salary they pay for your work, is something to be thankful for since no one else will pay for it. To move up in the company, you must have excellent relationships, that is to say, be friends with the manager of the XXX department. People who do not try hard earn more, and those who try hard earn less, the increases are every year and it depends on if one or many bosses likes you, everything based on personal viewpoints, your performance rating is not relevant to this process, even if it is good. The turnover rate is high, the staff gets bored with the "organizational culture" and salaries, and so they leave. Some people spent 10 years in the same position struggling for a salary or for a reward, that will not come. They do not promote your professional progress, they do not promote the learning of new technologies, methodologies, among others. Also, you must make up time for study or medical appointments, your performance is judged by how long you sit in your chair, you are a "good employee" if you work overtime, that is not paid, and you are bad if you ask for the paid of those. It is not a company that gives you freedom of opinion, if you think differently from your leaders you will be labeled a "problem employee". They promote an ideal leadership that stays on the paper and in the courses that the bosses take, but nothing else, because there's not leadership. when you get a new position, you must arrive with everything learned, there is no opportunity for learning curves, making mistakes is not part of your process, it is frowned upon. Irrelevant classifications and dismissals without justification are normal within the company's processes. I grew a lot in my soft skills and thanks to everything mentioned, I learned what I would not accept again.

Pros

-Hire and teach people with no experience -Salaries are a little above the market -Good company to start professional career

Cons

-Low stability -No opportunities for flexible work, home office or something -Keep arrogant and toxic people that doesn't care for employees, HR is just a recreation office.
