Pros

Interesting and innovative products, and a focus on initiatives to support internet access for all. Flexible WFH arrangements and unlimited PTO remain the standard at Ookla, while other companies have moved away from these benefits.

Cons

As with all high growth companies, this growth can sometimes outpace the ability to hire new resources. However, the company seems committed to attracting and hiring top talent to support the growth.

Pros

Positive, supportive, and collaborative culture. Everyone is a team player and genuinely wants to see each other succeed. Trust and autonomy. I feel trusted to do my job well, and I have the freedom to manage my own projects. Ample opportunities for growth. I've been able to expand my skills and take on new challenges. Management is invested in my professional development. Strong leadership. Leadership is transparent, approachable, and always has a clear vision for the company's future. Impactful work. Contributions have a real impact on the product and the company.

Cons

None. It's been a rewarding experience overall.

Pros

--Ookla is headed to the next level, with a bright future ahead (which is one of the major reasons I joined Ookla). --After CEO Stephen joined Ookla in Jan 2023, he successfully transformed Ookla with the necessary changes and investments so that it can step up to the next level in its profitable growth trajectory. --For example, in the recent quarterly results, Ookla grew revenue by more than 14%, an impressive double-digit organic growth, that was unthinkable before our CEO Stephen joined. --And also achieved the Rule of 60 milestone for first time, which was made possible by our profitable business model with nearly 50% EBITDA margin. --It's not the same Ookla that existed like 5 years ago. It's a rejuvenated and maturing rocketship with even more potential growth ahead, waiting to be unlocked.

Cons

--In my opinion, no specific (noteworthy) con that is just unique to Ookla. --Like any business, there are parts of our company that are already highly efficient, and some parts that need more work.
