Pros

Some good people to work with - although most have now left Watching the EMEA VP expel nasal sputum and debris from his nose into his dinner plate sat at a table full of employees and their partners at Club like it's the normal polite thing to do.

Cons

Mass exodus of employees since Dec 2022/Jan 2023. Lots of talent has left leaving a vacuum the middle management's arrogance can't fill. Even the competition are using this with customers and prospects, Outsystems has become a laughing stock (see Forbes report and LinkedIn posts) You will be micromanaged to within an inch of your life by people who have never actually done the job themselves but have become theoretical experts thanks to internet searches on "how to". So long as you are compliant, have no opinion yourself, nod when told to then you might be ok. You must love spreadsheets, slides and lots of pointless internal meetings to keep you from speaking to customers. A license model that changes 2 or 3 times a year, always to the detriment of loyal customers Outsystems has lost its way and its morality is in the gutter along with its disastrous EMEA management chain. It always talks about its culture and how proud they are of it but they must keep that culture locked in a box in Portugal because no one gets to see it apart from when it's virtue signalling time.

Pros

- Cool benefits - Great incentives - Several opportunities to grow career - Equipment provided from day one

Cons

- General sense of oppression - No democracy to speak without risk of losing job - Refusal to issue contract before accepting employment (meaning, it is at the candidate's risk to leave their current employer should they be unhappy with contractual terms) - Micromanagement of personal life as well as professional life - Inability to discuss issues professionally without fear of disciplinary - More interested in control than in results. - Bullish attitude imposed through unnecessary escalations of managers when issues are raised
