Pros

- The company still feels small, and you WILL have a huge impact - The products are already extremely profitable, which is a rare for a startup this young - The employees are all extremely smart, conscientious, and helpful - The oat pudding in the fridge is tasty

Cons

Not really a con - the company has a very hard-working culture. That said, you don't have to work super long hours as long as you use your time efficiently.

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.
