Pros

The Brand name. Initial compensation package in the door. Looks like a great place but be warned!

Cons

Operations is so broken it could only be fixed by a major management turn over. It is hostile and the bully mentallity rules the decision making. The front end of the business is just as bad and the two sides are always after individual goals versus what is best for the company. Go in with a high salary because the raises are almost nonexistent and promotions are only earned after setting unrealistic goals that set-up to be unobtainable. They would prefer that you leave after 2-3 years.

Great Place To Work

Pros

I have been there three and a half years. I love the culture of the company. Kiva Systems has provided an environment where one can really learn about how to build a company from the ground up. I love the focus on innovation. You are allowed to be your own person and to share your suggestions and ideas. We are experiencing exponential growth and everyone works very hard. If you are not ready to work hard, this may not be the place for you.

Cons

Like with any small company that is growing super fast, there are growth pains associated with scalability. One has to be flexible and willing to adapt quickly-it can be a con but also a great challenge to have.

Pros

A high percentage of people are really smart here, and an effort is made to keep the talent level high. Lots of young people here keeps the environment fun and new ideas coming in. Company culture "makes sense" to me as an engineer. Focused on getting things done and doing them better over time. They do a nice job with company activities, parties, company and departmental meetings, etc. Moving between groups is not uncommon here, and is encouraged, so there are opportunities to work on new items. Company is growing and dynamic so there is room for advancement.

Cons

Facility is getting a bit crowded, but they are opening a new office in Westboro. Some middle managers are not great, but they have "moved on" managers in the past. I do put in a lot of hours some times, but management has taken positive steps for work/life balance. Engineers have a rotating on-call to support their software, which can be annoying.
