Pros

There are no pros unless you're a favorite of one of the two founders. There are no pros unless you like building out and supporting a scammy product that is hugely misleading about an imaginary credit line (spoiler alert - there's isn't one). There are no pros unless you like hugely misleading credit agencies about people who use your product.

Cons

Morale is so low that many folks have left or are at risk of being "managed out" (which they actually said at an all-hands as a threat) because they don't agree with every single thing including taking the blame for complete lack of vision and leadership from the founders and their handful of favorites.

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.
