Company with vision which offers growth. - Anonymous employee Oomba Employee Review

Oomba, being a rather small operation at the moment, exudes a tight-knit community feel in the workspace makes it easy to be invested and actually care not just about your work but of the entire company in general. You feel as though your input and your efforts matter in the company as senior management constantly keeps lower-level workers up to date and explains how all the work that everyone does helps to achieve the overall goal of the company. Coworkers have all been great, albeit there is always an annoying coworker or two. Beyond that everyone is friendly, fun, and easy to get along with and especially easy to work with. Everyone is respectful of your beliefs, work space, and the way you work (i.e quite work space or not being bothered for lengths of time). They also always stock snacks in the break room which is nicer than one would think, especially when work runs late and you just wanna get a light snack to finish up your work.

The passion with which coworkers believe in the product and vision they are attempting to create can be intimidating and may put unseen pressure on other coworkers. I sometimes feel as though I have to work longer hours than I am really able to in order to show that I am committed to the cause. Not really that bad but something to note

Oomba has had a troubled past with the development of their product. It started as a group of college students developing under pressure and time crunches that were completely unreasonable. However, this is in the past for Oomba. The development team is separated from upper management now process wise. The work environment leaves a lot of room for personal career growth. Every member of the development staff is an equal and valued part of the team (we work in an Agile Scrum process now). The team is very close to one another, creating a light, fun development environment.

Oomba can still be very high pressure at times. We are constantly taking on new opportunities and will be building planned features in our products for years to come. Management, now being separated from the development process more than previous reviews stated, can have a disconnect between what they want done and what is feasible within a reasonable timeline.
