Pros

Benefits are good (ie has a more unique benefits like $400 a month commuter reimbursement among, gym reimbursement etc) and the company has been profitable and growing in user numbers so pretty stable financially. There was a recent change in leadership (CTO) so it feels like CEO takes feedback very seriously (see reviews below) which is appreciated. Also really like that the work is hybrid for in person collaboration but also for unbothered heads down time at home.

Cons

Can be long hours sometimes and projects can often shift quickly but typical of a startup. Grateful for lunches provided but strong prefer the DoorDash we had over the catering.

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.
