Pros
- The CEO has a large platform and brand that is positioning the company well, more than I think people realize. If the company improves, this type of visibility will be positive for everyone who works here. While some people feel this is not good, I think it brings a lot of value. I think the CEO works hard to balance this. He is at every all-hands meeting, he has a true open-door policy, and he responds in all our Slack channels...he does more than I have seen other CEOs do. - Having a Black CEO has been amazing, as a person of color, I appreciate this deeply. - The leadership team has had a lot of change in the past few years and it feels like the company is getting on track, a lot of bad leaders are gone now. - We have an important product that can change the lives of many people, if you want to be a part of making the world a better place or purpose-driven work, Kickstarter will make sure you feel and understand you are a part of something bigger than you - Kickstarter will support growth but the company is small so sometimes you can only get promoted if someone leaves. It could be a good stepping stone though (if you are on the right team/with the right manager). - Four day work week and fully remote work is a plus
Cons
- Lacks experienced managers which is hard for some of my peers - Feels like there are some cliques between old people and new people - Some people who have been here a long time are negative and I avoid them
