Easy place to work. Management wants to be liked so you can pretty much do what you want - Manager, IT Ookla Employee Review

Thanks for sharing your feedback – It’s important to us that you feel comfortable and our hope is that you have a positive work-life balance. The intention of Flex Fridays is to support just that – encouraging our employees to adopt sustainable work practices and reduce meeting overload, create time for focused work, and have time to take care of personal and/or family needs. As you mentioned, however, it’s also important for a workplace to support a healthy balance between job satisfaction and skill development. We value the happiness of our employees and recognize that it's crucial for a positive work atmosphere but want to ensure that our team members have the opportunity to learn and grow within their roles. We highly encourage you to start a discussion with your manager or the HR team about finding a solution that works best for you. If you have any suggestions on how we can enhance the learning aspect while maintaining a positive atmosphere, we're all ears.
