Pros

If you are interested in developing software products and services for the mobile wireless industry, Openwave Systems is a good place to work. They had a lot of good engineering talent in the early years.

Cons

Having worked at Openwave Systems during the early years, it was a shame to witness first hand the unrealized potential of their technology. They spent a lot of money on acquisitions of companies and technology that unfortunately did not contribute to the long term success of the company. Several management changes and adjustments to their product portfolio, they shifted to more of a professional services company and less of a product company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Openwave had some of the best technology and smartest technical talent in its space. These made it a very good place for engineers to work at.

Cons

Unfortunately the skill of the technical team was outdone by the incompetence of senior management and the company consistently underachieved. As a result it never became a place that people would build a long term career at.
