Increasingly toxic environment

Business Outlook

Pros

The few remaining remnants of the old Ookla (mainly people who have not yet resigned or have not been forced out).

Cons

The recent shift in senior leadership at Ookla has given rise to a work environment marked by reduced transparency and heightened hostility. The new management seems disinclined to treat the workforce respectfully or uphold truthfulness, fostering an escalating atmosphere of toxicity. Instances of bullying, harassment, and marginalization among colleagues have become recurrent, resulting in a swift decline in organizational morale and motivation. Any candidates should do their own research and approach with caution.
