Pros

I love the community and welcoming environment at kendo. Everyone works as a team and ultimately wants everyone to win here. It’s unlike any other company I’ve worked for. Truly is a great place to work

Cons

Not really any cons, maybe if anything, I wish employee parking was more affordable but it’s sf so it’s understandable

Pros

There are some really amazing people to work with depending on the team you're on. Good exposure to what it's like to work on a celebrity brand and for a larger corporation (though it's also a con). They have a good selection of snacks, coffee, amenities.

Cons

There are some really awful people to work with. Lots of "mean girls" which will stay this way unless they swap out some people at the top. Huge lack of accountability, lots of blaming and pointing fingers. They have a beautiful set of principles that they don't follow. Processes are terrible - no one will take ownership and put proper ways of working in place. Kendo is best for younger folks just out of college so they can train you to believe this is the best way of working, and it's just not.
