      Ontra: The Heart of Contradiction

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Ontra holds a strong position in the contracts market. It has also at times benefitted from a number of capable and collaborative employees.

      Cons

      1. Culture and morale: While Ontra presents itself as open and friendly, its internal culture often transpires to be insincere and, at times, toxic. Though the company invests in in-person gatherings intended to foster connections, such events instead reinforce a culture marked by judgement and inconsistent expectations. Trust internally is very low and morale has been in steady decline over the past several years, in part due to multiple rounds of redundancies which were poorly handled by leadership / HR with minimal transparency. Although the company projects strong growth, high employee turnover is a persistent issue. 2. Product credibility: The technology offering - particularly its claimed AI capabilities - is extremely overstated. In reality, many of the functions attributed to “proprietary technology” are handled manually by external contractors or non-legal administrators. 3. Progression: While leadership espouses a merit-based approach, promotions are typically arbitrary and individuals without the necessary skills or experience are often elevated to management roles.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective on your experience at Ontra. We appreciate you mentioning our strong position in the market and the contributions of our exceptional employees. We are disappointed to hear that your experiences at in-person events and with progression didn’t align with the collaborative environment we are cultivating. We remain committed to fostering a culture of trust and transparency and 93% of our employees participated in our Engagement Survey and the results reinforce that moral is at an all time high, with an eNPS of 46 and overall favorability of 84%- it is clear that the vast majority of our employees are proud to work at Ontra. We are also extremely transparent in our product offering and how we market our AI and human-in-the-loop solutions, but we thank you for your feedback . If you would like to provide any additional feedback about your experience, please contact your former People Business Partner.

      Fast Paced; Great People; Interesting Work

      Anonymous employee

      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Fast paced environment. Things constantly changing, evolving, it keeps the day to day really interesting and exciting for people who like a tech company environment; - Great, smart people who generally work really hard and are extremely collaborative. Intellectual curiosity is rewarded and their are industry experts who are always happy to explain complex concepts to those of us not in law or finance - very interesting work for big time clients. Making huge strides in AI and using cutting edge technologies. Actually have created a useful product layer on top of an LLM which I don't think many people have done successfully. - Good Pay and Benefits; managers give autonomy and only care about the work getting done well. Not how it gets done.

      Cons

      Hard to think of any major cons other than its a rapidly evolving and growing company. That may not be for everyone. But it creates lots of opportunity at the company and it feels like the sky is the limit in terms of career opportunities if you are willing to dive into the work.
