Pros

good benefits, good pay, good food, flexible hours if needed.

Cons

there's a lot. all the negative reviews below share real problems! The defensive responses by the official Kespry team on the reviews is a red flag in itself? HUGE lack of a proven product vision & roadmap by execs. so many cooks in the kitchen. secrecy, confusion, role stealing/coup attempts in a product/eng driven team - the company is running itself in circles. CEO/other execs can be inaccessible and not in touch, many are rude, and most are condescending and "holier than thou/I know best" people who have been here a while and have loud voices/access to management think they can guide the business based on overconfidence in their abilities and product capabilities - but instead it is failing fast. many people drink the kool-aid and don't really look at the biz competition, difficulties to sell the product, and internal culture problems. favoritism is evident, and no real transparent growth opps. lots of promotions are for no real reason, and others that are deserved are under-shared.

Pros

We have great people, open and caring leadership and a positive remote culture. I appreciate the efforts of management to hear employees out, share vision and communicate openly. It finally feels we are all rowing together and in the same directions. Sure, there are day to day issues but overall, I find that there is an employee focused culture that is rare at tech companies. I love working with my team and also enjoy collaborating cross functionally.

Cons

I do feel we need a more detailed and focused strategy and roadmap shared to further drive our goals and outcomes. However, I also know I can reach out to my manager and our CEO any time to have my concerns and questions addressed on this. We have systems and processes that do need to be refined, but considering we are doing A Lot with the size we are, I know that these will develop with time.
