      Creating an environment where leadership is present and the people around you make the work better is central to what we're building at Ontra. It's great to hear that reflected in your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.

      It's great to hear that who you work alongside and the drive to keep learning stand out, and we appreciate you sharing it. These are things we work hard to sustain, and we're glad they show up in your experience. We also want that experience to hold up over time. The pace here is real, and we want all Ontranauts to thrive in it. We encourage communicating openly with your manager or People Business Partner whenever you need it.

      Decent perks overshadowed by poor leadership and low pay

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Limited... but: - we're fully remote - we get decent quarterly stipends you can choose what to spend on ie: food, office set ups, wellness, etc. + phone/ internet monthly - benefits are decent, stock is pretty much worthless but everyone does have a grant - people (outside of leadership) are very kind, which makes up for a significant lack of domain expertise across the functions

      Cons

      Everything else? - salaries are very low unless you're on the build side of the org - we refuse to promote folks unless there is a threat of them leaving, but have no problem expanding their workloads - turn over is VERY high - leadership leaves so much to be desired - friends bringing on friends here - Founder led, CEO (original co-founder) refuses to recognize he doesn't have the leadership experience or SaaS knowledge to lead effectively and is helping drive this place to the ground - Strategic plans are limited, and plans seems to shift on the regular - Incapable of releasing products on a timeline or meeting projected delivery schedules - Rather full workloads that always seem to grow - Few layoff rounds recently, backfills cut, budgets slashed, function off-site events cut to save budget - Having a really hard time as many other companies in this current phase with AI solutions improving so quickly

      We're disappointed to hear that this has been your experience. Building an environment where people feel heard, supported, and able to do their best work is something we take pride in. Communicate Openly is one of our core values, and we've structured how we operate to reflect that. Regular engagement surveys, dedicated PBPs, and direct lines to leadership exist because we believe honest feedback makes us better. Every decision that impacts our business and our people is made with deliberateness and care. We set company-wide OKRs and share progress regularly so everyone understands how their work connects to the business. We are deliberate about building the expertise, accountability, and cross-functional alignment that allow us to execute with clarity on behalf of our customers and our teams. We remain confident in the direction of our business and the strength of what we're building.
