Avantages
Across all the departments employees got relatively high salaries. One of the benefits is that many people had the option to telecommute but that left the office feeling deserted. Colleagues were overall friendly when they were around the office. This company hires a lot of contractors, in and out of the country.
Inconvénients
There is no real culture at this company. It seems like just a faceless corporation, though the employees all had their own distinct and fun personalities. Very high turnover, including the CEO role. Things were very disorganized which created an environment of chaotic crisis. When an attempt was made to fix this, one employee who had been at the company for years mentioned "...that's the culture here. This is how things always operated". Openwave operated like a startup but it definitely was not a startup. It was like dealing with a 50 year old adult that was still in high school.
