Pros

Company prides itself on being 'cool'. Mostly flexable working. Coffee machines. Central location, it's right next to Covent Garden and near East side to Oxford Street.

Cons

A year into moving to the company no attempts by management or personnel to integrate. London personnel are self-serving and most staff feel un-included or out of place. Nepotism from management and especially human resource, they feel in league with each other. Promotions are behind closed doors, are announced without job even being advertised. With our heads of the management leaving, chaos reigns. Those stepping up are poor. Decisions are made without reason. Communication is unobtainable luxury. I don't understand why people are still here. Plenty of work in London.

Thanks for your comments and feedback. We are sorry that you have had a difficult experience. We would encourage you to speak to trusted person in a management position who could forward your concerns through the right channels. We hope that with initiatives we have planned you will feel differently about Ooyala. We completely appreciate that integration doesn't come easy and there are a number of factors such as legal, contractual and work structures which we need to consider.
