Pros

Work from home option if you are sick or have a valid reason. Daily catered lunch.

Cons

Never have I ever worked a position at a company that made me tell people that I hate my job. That's how I felt working at Origami Logic. The management is super disorganized with no formal structure and no interest in formalizing the structure. There is also no defined work given and you're told to "do work." Not getting anything specific to do is very inconvenient, leaving you with no growth in your career and prevents you from learning any new technology. That being said, there's an exception. If you are fake and artificial and know how to get into your manager's head, you will be the one chosen for any new projects and given any new task that comes by, even if there are people in the team more experienced and working longer than you. It is very annoying working at a company where your teammates act like high school children and don't know the meaning of team work. Instead of working together, you are part of a team where they are out to throw you under the bus so they can get work to do while you rot at your station with nothing to do other than basic stuff. Being in a team where you don't talk to your teammates at all is a pretty bad place to be, where the manager is the only person each team member actually communicates with. Work times are even more inconvenient. You do not have the freedom to come and go as you please unless you are one of those favorites who can be super fake and get away with things. Advice to anyone who wants to work at Origami Logic: You must either be Israeli or fake and constantly kiss up to your manager if you want to be treated as a human being and have an okay work experience. If you are normal, real, and the type of person who minds their own business and doesn't go out of their way to sabotage others images, then this is not the place for you because you will get destroyed. This is a company where majority of the people are unhappy. People have left this company due to lack of opportunity for growth in their career. When it comes to culture, there is none. You would think a start up is a fun place to be while you work hard, but instead you're in an environment of boring people who have no life and no interest in anything other than their job. Fun is forced upon the employees with occasional parties to celebrate a holiday, but those parties are poorly arranged and defeat the purpose of bringing excitement to the company. The culture is strict and not flexible at all. Only boring people who are robotic are the ones who survive here, or people with no skills but know how to act smart when they're not. At the end of the day, Origami Logic is not a pleasant company to work for and I would not recommend them to anyone looking for a job.

Thanks for providing us with your feedback. I’m sorry you had this experience at the company as the environment we’re striving for is collaborative & genuine which we take pride in. We’re building towards a big vision and there’s always more interesting & challenging work to be done than people in the company: We’re tackling difficult technology challenges for some of the biggest brands in the world which we would never be able to deliver on without a team effort and a lot of heart and soul... As an entrepreneur, I believe that our path in life and in our careers is what we choose and make it to be - rather than being a captive passenger on a pre-set trajectory. If you choose to look for a change of place, I wish you all the best and hope you find an environment that’s a better match for your needs. If you choose to stay, I would love to chat to best understand and address your concerns. As you know I’m just a few feet away in our open space environment. Thanks again for your feedback, Opher Kahane

Pros

Working with bright people Challenging work, in the good way Leadership team does well communicating company direction Perks (free food, freedom to WFH, unlimited PTO, swag)

Cons

It's a startup, so there's a lot to be done. Not a place to coast Employees are scattered around the world, which can make some communication and time-sensitive issues tough to navigate

Pros

This is a growing company that has a great product, not only that but we have customers that recognize it is a great product and help us get the word out. I have worked for several start up and some did well and some did not, I know Origami Logic will do well. I have confidence in the product, the team and the leadership. Why? Because I have seen good and bad leadership, great teams and dysfunctional ones and I see Origami Logic has having a seasoned leadership team and a good team over all. The product also just makes sense and our customers get it.

Cons

It's a start up with all that means. As others have said in previous reviews there is a lot of hard work and I would guess that at one time or another most if not all of us have asked why we are doing it. There are times you work late or give up weekends, not because it is demanded but because the job needs to get done.
