      Pros

      Some good people... Who work hard but not appreciated.

      Cons

      Executive lack of leadership... No product innovation. Product leadership non existence ( should be fired). HR leadership appalling... Do not value employees as act like a start up despite them being 7 years old.... They do not retain employees until they leave!!! Their packages are not competitive and expect employees to be loyal despite no getting anything in return... Telstra need to re examine the executive leadership

      Pros

      Company prides itself on being 'cool'. Mostly flexable working. Coffee machines. Central location, it's right next to Covent Garden and near East side to Oxford Street.

      Cons

      A year into moving to the company no attempts by management or personnel to integrate. London personnel are self-serving and most staff feel un-included or out of place. Nepotism from management and especially human resource, they feel in league with each other. Promotions are behind closed doors, are announced without job even being advertised. With our heads of the management leaving, chaos reigns. Those stepping up are poor. Decisions are made without reason. Communication is unobtainable luxury. I don't understand why people are still here. Plenty of work in London.

      Thanks for your comments and feedback. We are sorry that you have had a difficult experience. We would encourage you to speak to trusted person in a management position who could forward your concerns through the right channels. We hope that with initiatives we have planned you will feel differently about Ooyala. We completely appreciate that integration doesn't come easy and there are a number of factors such as legal, contractual and work structures which we need to consider.

      Poor Management (London Office)

      Pros

      - Good location, have a nice view of central london. - Flexible working hours, no one will complain if you do not show up.

      Cons

      - Poor HR management, looks like no one cares about the employees, you will get an entry interview and an exit interview, nothing in between. - Hostile environment, two huge groups working in the same building (but no together). It makes the environment very tense. - None attractive perk.

      Thanks for your comments and feedback. We try from HR's side to be available for all employees and will look at ways of making sure everyone feels we are an approachable team. We appreciate it's a work in progress to integrate teams from different businesses given that there are different structures and legal processes to adhere to but we feel confident we have taken some important steps in the last few months that we think will make a difference.
