Increasingly toxic environment - Anonymous Ookla Employee Review

Pros

The few remaining remnants of the old Ookla (mainly people who have not yet resigned or have not been forced out).

Cons

The recent shift in senior leadership at Ookla has given rise to a work environment marked by reduced transparency and heightened hostility. The new management seems disinclined to treat the workforce respectfully or uphold truthfulness, fostering an escalating atmosphere of toxicity. Instances of bullying, harassment, and marginalization among colleagues have become recurrent, resulting in a swift decline in organizational morale and motivation. Any candidates should do their own research and approach with caution.

Ookla Response

We're pleased to hear that you value the contributions of the long-standing members of our team. Their dedication is indeed an asset to our organization. However, we are deeply concerned about your experience with the recent changes in culture and employee safety. It's disheartening to learn about instances of hostility, bullying, harassment, and marginalization among colleagues. Please know HR is always available to discuss these particular issues further. Ensuring that people are valued and respected is a top priority for us, and we are dedicated to making the necessary changes to achieve this. It is our goal to restore Ookla’s employee morale and a culture where everyone feels safe and valued. As always, your feedback is essential in helping us evolve. If you feel comfortable, we encourage you to reach out to the HR team about your concerns as we hope to understand the context and details of the situation(s) described.

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.
