Pros
The benefits were good, but even that was affected a bit by cost cutting measures. The people were great, but most of them are gone now too.
Cons
I'm not sure why I'm writing this review because I seriously doubt OwnLocal will hire a new employee ever again. OwnLocal’s leadership has steered the company straight into an iceberg and the ship is rapidly sinking. The CEO is dishonest and not fit for leading a company. The CRO is a 7ft tall toddler that just wants to play with his toys (literally) and throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. These two are the root of OwnLocal's toxic environment. Other contributing factors? There’s no product leadership. There’s no innovation. Sales are tanking, and there’s no path to recovery. In between the 2 big layoffs that happened in the last 1.5 years, the company continued to hemorrhage talent and failed to course-correct. OwnLocal used to be a scrappy startup filled with great people. It was always unorganized and a little chaotic, but at least you could grow your career and work with talented and eager people. But those people–honestly, OwnLocal’s only redeeming quality besides benefits–are gone now. Anyone still there is either trapped by circumstance or delusional.
