Pros

As part of Ziff Davis, Ookla is established like a large organization yet maintains the culture and dynamic of a startup. I get to work with people who are really smart, dedicated, and humble. I feel that there is a lot of internal support and areas for career development. Work life balance and flexibility are excellent. Pay is competitive and culture is the hard to beat! Remote friendly, unlimited PTO (which you'll be encouraged to use), fun company parties/offsites, dog-friendly office, weekly catered lunches.

Cons

401k match and health benefits could be better

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.
