OutSystems reviews

- Business model is a joke. Since Goldman Sachs entered with their investment their growth pressure trumps quality and sustainable growth. I have no doubt that OutSystems will crash. - Wrong competences in the wrong palces. Technical profiles are all over the place making decisions like machines. They don't have any business knowledge, nor strategic knowledge. OS engineers think they rule the world but the only world they rule is their own imaginary world. - "Ask why" is a joke. They don't even know the 5 whys technique which is aimed to root analyse a problem. They just used it because "it's cool". - They are luring the wrong crowd: junior and imature profiles who like snooker and free beers but don't care about OS business. - A lot of differences between outcontractor and internal folks. Well...guess what OS? You are not doing a favour when inviting external folks to meetings because we are working for the same thing. Right? If we put aside certain people, we have teams with no change of being equally productive because they don't have access to the same information.

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.
