Pros

None now that new management has replaced founder and original team

Cons

Toxic environment. Cannot trust new management...full of lies and misleading. Worst place to work. New management just laid off several original Ookla members after promising no layoffs. New management is cleaning house and firing anyone who might challenge their authority. Wouldn't be surprised if there will be additional rounds of layoffs. New management does not know anything about the business and will drive it into the ground. Avoid at all costs. If you work here get out...run, don't walk.

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.
