What is working from home like at Ookla?

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.

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.

Unlimited PTO, decent pay and permanent work from home. Work life balance is fine.

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.

Flexible working arrangements, ability to work 100% remotely, unlimited PTO, my supervisor is awesome

While there are pro to working under a parent company, there are some things that I know Ookla would LIKE to do but cannot do to the limitations set by ZD.
