Pros

Kiva is a truly mission-driven organization trying to address challenges people face across the globe. As a software engineer, there is interesting, challenging, and satisfying technical work to be done to serve the mission. There are real problems to solve, some of them benefit from technology (but not all!), and every day I get to work with a great team while never losing sight of the people we aim to serve.

Cons

As a non-profit, Kiva is resource-constrained and things can feel a little stretched thin at times. Culturally Kiva encourages a sustainable pace, but with so much to do that all feels important and worthwhile, it's easy to overextend yourself.

Kiva Response

Thanks so much for your feedback. I couldn't agree more with your statement. We all feel stretched at times, but learning to slow down and breathe and say, "I would love to help you, but I am at capacity at the moment" is definitely okay to say too. please note, I share your sentiment and can sympathize.
