Osano

When I started at Osano the focus was on getting me up to speed on the product and data privacy space. I was given the opportunity to study for a data privacy certification and an onboarding schedule of docs (internal and customer-facing). Everyone was so helpful with tips and daily check-ins.

Osano is a certified B-corporation and you get the feeling that many people work here because they support the mission of data privacy as a basic right for everyone. The idea of making decisions with an overall positive impact is mentioned regularly at Company All Hands meetings and seems to play a big role in executive decisions as well.

At Osano I've been able to offer my opinions and ask questions without fear of judgment. In my interactions here folks have received my opinions, weighed them fairly and been open to deep discussion about them. I'm looking forward to continually being honest and helping to build great things here.

Having worked as a PM at a large Enterprise company, I was used to the challenges in leading product when so many decisions are out of your hands and developers are hesitant to believe meaningful change is possible since they all know from experience that the environment they work in makes change difficult. At Osano, I was able to get to business within a couple weeks of onboarding and start leading a team of autonomous developers to help deliver a product absolutely essential to our customers and our company. At Osano, taking initiative is rewarded and there are no political or bureacratic boxes you have to work in or around.

I've worked with many intelligent people at many different companies over the course of my career but I would say the consistency of intelligence and different kinds of intelligence at Osano has definitely been great to see. Leadership understands you need to have a diverse team with different backgrounds and expertises to truly elevate the collective intelligence of the organization.

We've hired a number of new people since I started working at Osano despite headwinds in the economy and the market is projected to grow by many many factors over the next 5 years. Fortunately, despite our continued growth leadership cares about the sustainability of our workforce and growing in a way that makes sense for our customers, employees, and investors.

It's a breath of fresh air to be at a company that respects everyone's time, communicating to ensure that everyone understands what's going on, and being thoughtful on providing helpful, clear information. We're also transparent about salaries and post our ranges on all job descriptions!

One of Osano's core pillars is Authenticity + Inclusion, and we take it very seriously. We actively seek those who come from different backgrounds, bring different perspectives, and can help us grow further into the future. We're creating software for everyone so it's important that everyone be able to work at Osano!

The product itself inspired me to work at Osano - as a consumer, I've used apps + websites that collect my data, and I want to know what those businesses do with my data. In addition to that, it's empowering to see that we are a B-corp and are helping society as a whole, not just focused on profits.
