Working for Olo has been the perfect experience for me as a programmer. Olo really goes the extra mile when it comes to maintaining a good balance between work and play, offering plenty of opportunities for team building activities and time away from the workplace for personal projects too. My supervisor is always willing to listen to any suggestions that I have, as well as offer additional resources or training opportunities if ever needed. I highly recommend working at Olo.

I've been with Olo almost 3 years now and my experience in the IT department has been nothing short of outstanding. Olo provides hands-on training and has the latest equipment making it easy to stay fast and precise in my work. Plus, the work-life balance is perfect for me since I'm allowed to work from home during busy days or when there's an emergency.
