      Pros

      Opencast is a genuinely purpose-driven organisation that’s committed to creating a fair and inclusive work environment. There’s strong support for employees at all life stages, and the company is deeply engaged with clients, partners, and communities to drive positive change. The hybrid working model provides excellent flexibility, which has allowed me to continue progressing in my career while raising a family. I’m surrounded by exceptional colleagues and learning something new every day — Opencast is truly a great place to work.

      Cons

      As with any fast-growing organisation, there can be some growing pains. At times, processes and structures are still evolving, which can lead to a bit of ambiguity or inconsistency across teams. Communication can occasionally feel fragmented depending on the project or department. While the hybrid model offers great flexibility, the distributed nature of teams can sometimes make collaboration and alignment more challenging, especially for new joiners who are still building internal networks. That said, the leadership team is open to feedback and there’s a genuine effort to improve as the organisation scales.

      Open culture, strong benefits package nice people

      Progression can be difficult to achieve even when your performance is recognised to be strong, this may change as the company grows in the coming years.

      Pros

      Nothing at all to be honest

      Cons

      Was offered a role and signed my contract with Opencast as normal. They initially delayed my start date by a few weeks which eventually turned into serveral months without an explanation. I chased the HR team on a weekly basis to ask what was causing the delays but there was a lack of communication. They repeatedly misinformed me and misled me to believe that the delays were due to a delay in getting equipment. After several torturous months they turned around and told me that the role I had received a job offer for was no longer available. I had many offers on the table at the time of accepting this role with Opencast and as a result I am now back at square one - searching for a job.
