Avantages

Very friendly hard working staff at lower levels of organisation. Good Nice location in university. Nice cafe in building and working office.

Inconvénients

Senior management do not listen or act in the way that reflects what they say the company stands for. All the problems come from senior management not letting very talented employees do what they were employed to do which has made good people leave. There is a culture of moving people on if they don’t perform but this does not apply to senior management. Flexible working and work benefits are offered but the attitude around these is very old school which makes people not take advantage of them and feel as though they are acting poorly if they do. New hires are expected at very low rates but for high experience. Don’t believe what might be promised.

I read your review with a real sense of disappointment. I joined Opsview in January 2018 in the knowledge that we had been through a difficult period mid-2017, but was confident the company had already made significant changes (else I wouldn’t have joined!). As I understand it, questions were asked about the future direction and ambition of the organisation - we had been a fairly conservative business, steadily building a base of over 425 customers and conserving our cash. The leadership team engaged with the employees, listened, and responded with a bold decision to invest in product innovation, new people and faster growth. Since I’ve been here we’ve hired 30 people, many with hard-to-find cutting edge skills (I know! I’ve been the one trying to unearth these amazing people!). We’ve released an early version of Opsview 6.0 with its new microservices architecture; we’ve secured further new and expansion deals; we’ve run domain-leading marketing and community events; and we’ve started the Innovation Team, who recently delivered the brand new WSL Tools community product. All this can be read about on our considerably improved website. The organisation you describe looks nothing like the one I know – we are far from the ‘old school’ you describe. I really do feel we are on a very different path to when you were here and the leadership team have learnt some valuable lessons, some of which you allude to. I know all companies have tough times, and that it’s hard to satisfy everyone. I’m really sorry your experience towards the end of your time here with Opsview wasn’t a positive one – I wish you could see and experience where we are now. With our growing Opsview team, I know we have a very bright future ahead of us.

Avantages

Management provides a setting that allows you to grow and develop in your career with a number of opportunities. Small company where you are able to make a difference and can see the contributions that you make. The company culture and being able to have a conversation with anyone from the CEO to a summer intern made going to work enjoyable.

Inconvénients

Communication between UK and US offices can sometimes be a challenge.

Avantages

I personally loved my time at Opsview. Because of the nature of the product, you're introduced to such a wide variety of different technologies ranging from Linux to Windows, cloud to on-prem, networking to offline systems, and how different types of customers utilize certain aspects of all of these technologies. If you put in the time to learn and fully grasp the technologies covered here, your career projection is limitless. The team itself is comparatively small (especially the US office), but I viewed that as a good thing, as you're able to make a higher impact. Additionally, it allows you to wear a few different hats if you'd like to try different projects and responsibilities. The team members were my favorite part. Opsview does a great job of not only hiring the right people for the right job, but also making sure that they're right for the team; I made lifelong friendships here.

Inconvénients

Considering the office location for the US, the pay was not competitive in comparison to the opportunities and cost of living in the surrounding towns. HOWEVER, I know that this was being corrected after my departure, so this may be better now. The US office team is extremely small, and depending on your role, it can be hard to take personal time off; not to mention, the remaining staff wasn't setup for success when someone was off. For example, if just one US support person was off, there would only be one support tech from about 1pm-6pm (after the UK office goes home) that would have to cater to all calls, web conferences, and support tickets coming in.
