An Insider's view of Ookla

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

As a mom of two young kids, I’ve been able to be present for family events and tend to their needs without worrying about letting deadlines slip or being punished. I can work the hours that best fit the needs of my family and adjust accordingly. My team is supportive and understanding that I have to juggle life and work at times.

Hillari

Director of Strategy

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

Many of the people I work with at Ookla are remote or international. By utilizing tools like Jira and Confluence or Slack, I always feel like we are working together by updating status' or doing screen shares. It's so easy to jump on a quick call and solve a problem instead of going through rounds of emails and we do that at Ookla very well.

Jamie

Technical Program Manager

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

My career has grown and matured beyond my expectations working here. There has always been a nice balance of challenging problems to solve combined with the support of the entire team to be successful. I still remember my first deploy, reaching millions of people within minutes! It was a surreal feeling and I still remember the sense of pride I had

Chris

Engineering Manager

What does your typical day look like?

Each day is about providing oversight of media relations efforts. I monitor industry news, manage inbound press inquiries, track media coverage and press placement, and share our content with the press when appropriate. I often review external materials and work with team members on media opportunities to further develop Ookla’s global voice.
