Pros

Free coffee is about the only good thing here.

Cons

- The leaders at Kikoff have no real vision or sense of direction. - Every decision feels impulsive and disconnected from reality. - There is no plan for employee growth or development, only empty promises and shifting priorities. - The constant disorganization makes it nearly impossible to stay motivated or feel valued. - Trust in leadership has completely vanished, and most of us are just counting the days until we can leave.

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.
