Pros

No idea at this point; it's chaos. The parent corp took out the founding management, then most of the remaining institutional knowledge; now everyone still there is looking to leave.

Cons

Who knows anymore; all bets are off. That's the con.

Morally corrupt leadership without a backbone

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Hard to point to any positives at present

Cons

It is becoming clear that the new leadership is morally corrupt and does not have the integrity or the backbone to make good decisions. In a very short time period they have created a toxic work place, that allows bullies and racists to operate without risk of any consequences. Ookla has lost its shine as a great place to work but most importantly the moral fiber of the company has been decimated by the attitude and behavior of the new management team.
