I expect that my tone was wrong there. My point is that I have seen the facts, and others are going by what has been reported second or third hand. I am here in this discussion because I believe that there are folks out there that are open -minded enough to hear a viewpoint that is outside of their experience.

I'm far too old to be offended in an online discussion forum.

Unlimited PTO.

Generous 401 program.

Parental leave.

Adoption coverage.

2SLGBTQIA+ supportive.

Fully neurodivergent friendly.

Mental & Emotional well being programs.

Aggressive promotion schedules.

And more I forget.

The industry is moving very fast, so we cannot afford any employee-owned committee dithering. To make up for that, there are generous stock grants.

The execs take risks and own up to their mistakes. Everyone is aware that what we are working on won't be invented until tomorrow. So mistakes are all learning opportunities for the entire organization.

However, cultural mismatches to not stay with us long. If you bring nothing but a cya attitude, you don't go far.

Employee surveys are always fully honest and issues raised are always addressed.

We. Are. Happy.

That's employee-forward.

I've worked at a lot of companies from startups to Fortune 10. This place is unique.

I cannot say what OAI does as I have not witnessed it. I do know what happens on my sites. I have seen it myself instead of relying on the press. I don't deny that others likely have bad practices. I simply know from personal experience that the "good guys" are being painted with a broad brush.
