Pros

I honestly don't know at this point

Cons

Before you join, ask the CEO to show you the Google Doc she sent out to the whole company at 3am about why we shouldn't IPO. In my experience leadership is terrible and completely illogical in her decision making process. But you don't have to trust me, just read it for yourself. The letter is pretty par for the course for the way she communicates and reasons about decisions. Read the few five star reviews and tell me they don't all sound the same. Probably all written by the CEO since it sounds like the way she talks: "highly profitable and financially healthy" … ok well then why won't you IPO Company also has a crap hiring bar because they can't get talent. Their interview process is super easy. You will be working with people who couldn't find a job elsewhere and are desperate, so they accept low comp and toxic culture. Don't let that be you.

Pros

-Fair compensation, reasonable work-life-balance, and good in-office perks -People at Kikoff are genuinely some of the nicest and smartest people I've ever worked with -Good growth opportunity for people looking to push the boundaries of their responsibility

Cons

-Company feels like a startup quickly growing up, with a lot of processes and guardrails being established. This can at times feel like culture is being changed/eroded. -Upper management is sometimes a little opaque about goals and directions, more transparency will allow everyone at the company to better align on prioritization.
