Pros

Great benefits, easy-going schedules and an open floor for improvements and new technologies.

Cons

Severely misrepresentative of social values. Despite putting in solid work rebuilding core systems and tracking compliance across the company often staying up overnight to work with their sibling team in India, I was let go for "disinterest". Not for performance reasons, not for any reasonable reason, but because I seemed "disinterested" in the events around the company. I performed my roles' duties as requested and even handled projects from start to finish with the tools I was given, helping to advance the IT team's processes by a considerable amount during my time there, but my quiet and more solitary nature was seen as "disinterest", and I was let go on that basis alone not taking into account the work that I put in.

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.
