Pros

We used to have the ability to collaborate and speak our minds. Things were not perfect but they are steeply headed south now.

Cons

New leadership team at Ookla (CEO, HR) are on a witch-hunt to get rid of anyone who speaks against them or speaks for something they are opposed to. They are also intent to get rid of anyone that is looked as being loyal to the old leadership team and it has been a Salem witch hunt in that regard, continuing to get worse by the DAY. It has become a culture of fear, aggression and CYA. There are still a few people left who care for people and care about the company but I doubt they will be able to stay for long. It is a 0 star company at this point. Stay FAR away.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, decent pay and permanent work from home. Work life balance is fine.

Cons

Since the founders were forced out, the new leadership has shown little passion or commitment to the product. Their continued presence appears driven more by personal financial incentives than by long-term vision. Although feedback is routinely collected, it is rarely acted upon, and many internal processes remain broken. Product quality has declined, with frequent issues reducing overall effectiveness. Hiring standards have deteriorated as well. While the company aspires to be a leader in its space, it lacks innovation and has instead settled into mediocrity. The culture has gone downhill, small perks have all been taken away.
