Pros
At its peak (2016) OwnLocal was an easy 5/5. They also heavily invested in each employee's professional growth.
Cons
On top of recent massive layoffs, they are hemorrhaging the few remaining clients and employees every day. Some combination of ego, an attempted coup d'état, lurid love affairs between execs and most departments, puzzling financial management/acquisitions, a total lack of transparency, and an over-obsession with maintaining the cool/hip startup image, OwnLocal went from almost great to failure. On top of this they broke the news of the massive layoffs (about 40% of the company was laid off at once) via text-message. How Lloyd managed to take some of the most intelligent, creative, knowledgable, dedicated employees working at a fraction of industry standard salary for 50-60 hours a week with voluntarily no overtime pay and turn it into a disaster is almost baffling. He seems to think most of the blame lies with people/departments he has never actually worked with directly and knows nothing about.
