Pros

OWC's products are used by some cool folks in the industry. That was really the single positive at this company.

Cons

The culture at OWC is shockingly bad. I just can't even put into words how crazy things are at this company. The company has an unreal turnover. Senior leadership provides almost zero strategic direction resulting in totally confused and disjointed teams across the company. The CEO is outrageously immature and seems almost totally incapable of rising to the level needed at the company. Additionally, I was just unexpectedly laid off from the company on December 1st and received zero severance. I am now forced to look for a new role through the holidays. In spite of this, it was a massive improvement for my life since leaving. It's shameful companies like this still exist today.

Pros

Able to run my department as I see fit

Cons

Way to many to list for a few really bad apples. So many people here talk about bad things at OWC, so sad its true, but you really get the wool pulled over your eyes and don't know until its to late. Its not so much the CEO, its the garbage that the executives tell him, they are back stabbers and like the high school drama - big trouble in HR and IT, literally they are still have that HS mindset. That is the issue with OWC. However, CEO doesn't go look for himself, he would rather take their word for it. Maybe he wised up and finally fired the long time President, who has destroys department and people and wanted everyone to kiss buttocks. She was the leader of the high schoolers. So sad to see OWC go down hill
