We are sorry to hear you did not have a great experience during your time here and we take your comments seriously. Working for a fast-paced startup like Ontic can have its challenges especially when we are building a product that does the important work of allowing businesses around the world to create a safer place to work. We take our five core values to heart and aim to live by them at every level of Ontic on a daily basis. We send employee engagement surveys each quarter specifically to allow employees to express any concerns they may have, all anonymously. While these concerns weren't revealed in any employee feedback, this feedback is quite atypical from what we have heard both widely shared and anonymously delivered, we appreciate your input and strive to improve. If you would like to share more, we would certainly appreciate it and there are many ways to be in touch with Ontic's People team, your previous manager and the CEO directly. Our leadership team has an open door policy that allows anyone, current or former employees, to bring up any concerns openly or in a confidential manner. We believe this level of transparency and feedback makes us a better team.

Pros

Ontic has some of the most passionate and talented people I’ve ever worked with. There’s a shared sense of purpose around building something that truly matters - bringing better technology and experiences to an industry that’s long been underserved. The mission and the community we’ve built along the way make it a place you can feel proud to be part of. Ontic isn’t afraid to take big swings, and that ambition has fueled a lot of our growth. Even when we’ve stretched too far, leadership has been willing to redirect resources and adapt, which shows maturity and awareness as we grow.

Cons

As we transition from a scrappy startup to a more structured scale-up, there are growing pains. We sometimes sign up for more than we should, and the pace of change can be intense. The increasing layers of management mean communication and alignment are more critical than ever - sometimes decisions or strategy shifts aren’t communicated as clearly or consistently as they could be. That can make it hard for teams to stay connected to the “why” behind priorities.
