Pros

Pay OpenNMS original group is nice

Cons

OpenNMS was sold to Nanthealth as a favor cause the CEOs are friends who were friends at Blackberry. The new CEO and CTO are former Blackberry leaders. Let that sink in. Nanthealth is dying and unfortunately anything under it's umbrella will soon suffer the same death the blackberry experienced. ( same leadership ) They have no idea what they are doing. OpenNMS just lost their CTO who has been there from the start. This ship is sinking fast. I was laid off along with 35 other employees in a five minute teams call where my direct manager couldn’t answer not a single question then deactivated all my log ins and everything I was working on after we hung up. Stay away.

Pros

Pay is decent; still some great folks working in the trenches; working with open-source is always nice.

Cons

Since getting bought by NantHealth, OpenNMS has been systematically neglected. Nant's executive team was more interested in making OpenNMS grow and look like a "real" company than actually executing a strategy. They ballooned the company by 10x the number of employees, but failed to invest in the right way to move the company forward; instead they tried throwing a bunch of spaghetti at the wall and came away baffled none of it turned into revenue. Now it's 3 years later and we're still in the same place we were when we started: a venerable and useful core product, but nothing to show for the new plans we needed funding for in the first place.

Pros

Phenomenal work culture Great product to work on Open source Perfect work life balance

Cons

OpenNMS was bought NantHealth a couple years ago, and NantHealth is really the nightmare parent company. They're the perfect stereotype of greedy, dismissive, and effete corporate overlords. They stonewalled the progress of OpenNMS' development for months as they nickle and dime and drag their heels. And now that they're having their own difficulties, OpenNMS gets to suffer and is downsized. God awful. I adored working at OpenNMS, but NantHealth took the good thing and let it wither.
