Open Systems reviews about "people"

Very smart and open-minded people all around. Fulfills my requirement not to be the smartest in the room.

Its a good organisation for beginners and interns. Its a good organization for those into security. There are good amount of parties and outings.

Having been hired into the labs (R&D) department of Open Systems four months ago, I found a diverse group of motivated engineers. Many are highly specialized (e.g. dedicated teams for CI/CD pipelines, for auth) and follow high coding standards (peer review, good testing practices, frequent rollouts of thousands of devices around the globe). Throughout the company, there is a very high technical knowledge in networking technology and software development. Many people from all departments including management, sales, and recruiting take shifts in our daily operations team and work on the shell to solve customer tickets (there is a 6 months training academy for that). Almost all information is transparent through the company. This allows me as an engineer to understand the bigger context of design decisions made by other teams. Also, from what I have seen in the past, the management does exceptionally well in aligning everyone in the organization on what our goals and challenges are. It's not just a mission statement hanging on every second wall that nobody actually understands. Being a father of a newborn, working 4 days a week in the hybrid model works very well for me. Some days I work from home and some days I use excellent offices with personal desks, plenty of meeting rooms, free drinks/snacks, and playing areas/bars for after-work hours.

The people are smart, driven, and easy to work with. There are interesting technical challenges to solve.

Work life balance is amazing, employees are valued like actual people not a number on a spreadsheet. Benefits are the best in the industry and an unmatched culture. Working for a Swiss-based company is amazing!

- friendly people, focus was always on helping each other rather than finger-pointing - Geeky/startup culture (if you like it) - expanding quite fast due to really favorable market conditions, especially in security

- People are very approachable and fun - A lot of extra activities - Focused on innovation
