Pros

Due to the fact that OGS makes its money by placing people on military contracts - compensation tends to be in line with market value. Reasonable comp

Cons

Incompetent senior management makes poor strategic decisions that negatively impact employees and the Company's financial stability. The level of incompetence is matched by an integrity deficit. For instance, during the recent acquisition of Urban Robotics, OGS reps promised employees that their jobs were secure only to layoff or fire more than half the personnel at the Portland office within months. This type of power play not only disrupted many lives with little warning, but also undermined the value of the acquisition. As further evidence of this point - upon last check there were 4 law suits actively pending between OGS and former or current employees.

OGSystems Response
10y
At OGSystems we believe that the fight against terrorism demands a different kind of company – entrepreneurial, agile, open and driven to create opportunity for people passionate about innovation in national security. We don’t limit our contribution to the military to just our business. Our company gives back to the community through charitable contributions both of monetary value as well as personal time. We value our employees and do what we can to be competitive with regard to compensation and benefits. Integrity is a core value of OGSystems. Following the acquisition of Urban Robotics in early 2015, 100% of the UR employees remained employed with OGSystems. The recent reduction in force in our Portland office was due to a change in strategic focus as a result of our evolving business. These changes were not a result of last year’s acquisition. Each new year brings new opportunity and adjustments to our company. We recently unveiled an organizational structure that will provide enhanced leadership at all levels across the company. We know that adjustments will need to be made as time goes on for continued success as OGSystems evolves. We thank you for your candid opinion and suggestions. We value feedback, both positive and negative because it helps us to see things from various perspectives
