How employees describe working at Olo
The health benefits are great
Hard working team committed to excellence, you can tell everyone likes what they do!
Even scaling from sub 200 people to almost 800 and an IPO Olo has managed to retain much of the culture that drew me here. Remote focused, great benefits, family first, challenging, meaningful work.
Olo has a great family first culture, and is also a genuinely remote culture. The product constantly iterates and provides a much needed service! Salaries on the customer success team (which has quite a large silo of teams that aren't really customer success) are lower than industry average.
Fully paid medical, vision, and dental benefits!
