Pros

If you are looking to put your hands into a lot of different parts of a growing startup, Kabbage is for you. I feel like I am making a genuine difference. Some days it can be real fun. Other days, you'll ask what am I doing here. I truly enjoy my coworkers at Kabbage, especially how some people go out of there way to decorate your desk for your birthday or nominate you to be recognized at Town Hall. My coworkers make it the best! They are the reason I stay at Kabbage.

Cons

We focus on transparency and talk about it a lot, but it's not real. Don't ask questions in the weekly Town Hall. If your question rattles senior leadership, you're gone with in 2-3 weeks. It bothers me and scares me. There's an anonymous feedback from that operates the same way. Only one click of people can ever speak up.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We’re thrilled that you enjoy working with your colleagues; we take great care in hiring folks who are self aware and understand and embrace the notion of caring deeply. At Kabbage, we are all shareholders, so each of us is therefore unconditionally committed to making Kabbage the best place to work. We have deliberately committed to maintaining our unique, “startup-culture” even as we’ve grown as a company. Transparency is a critical value for us, in fact, we’ve evolved it to “stay connected” which requires transparency at its’ core, but now includes some shared responsibility to demonstrate that effective communication is a two-way street. Although we recognize that our environment is not for everyone, we remain committed to considering our core values in all our decisions. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
