Pros

On site happy hours, excellent medical and dental package, free snacks, free catered lunches everyday, hyper fast growth,

Cons

Benefits are not the same across the board for all employees. Our health/dental/vision etc is stellar but It is NOT "unlimited PTO" for all. When I first joined the company, I had been offered another position with a very highly regarded corporation. I chose KT primarily because they offered unlimited PTO to ALL employees which would offer an excellent work/life balance.. I was also hired into a "salaried" position. Roughly three months into my time with KT, I was told "some" of us have been switched to hourly AND no longer have unlimited PTO. Now, not only are we are required to clock in and out as if we are working at a 7-11 but as of Jan 1, all hourly employees are losing their previously guaranteed sick time. We (the hourly employees) will now have to accrue sick time as well as PTO. If you are hourly at KeepTruckin, you will accrue 1 hour for every 30. The reasons we have been given have been standard HR answers and many times, not exactly truthful. It is incredibly disheartening and I expected more from a company/CEO that "cares so much" about its employees. All employees are NOT treated equally. Not. Even. Close. This has created an "us and them" mentality which has left many of us feeling significantly less than. What's worse is no matter who you try to discuss this with, you are quickly shut down and dismissed. It is not even a blip on the CEO's radar. If you decide to interview with KT make sure you ask the recruiter how the position you are interviewing for is classified; exempt or non-exempt.

Pros

The people are the strongest part of the company. I’ve worked with talented, supportive teammates across product, sales, marketing, and design who genuinely care about solving difficult problems for customers. The mission is meaningful, and there are opportunities to work on products that have real-world impact. The pace is fast, which can be exciting if you enjoy building quickly and wearing multiple hats. There is also plenty of room to grow and take on responsibility if you’re proactive.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, and it sometimes feels like the organization hasn’t fully caught up. Priorities shift frequently, which can make long-term planning difficult and leave teams feeling reactive instead of strategic. Workloads can be heavy, and sustained urgency has led to burnout in parts of the organization. Communication between leadership and teams could be more consistent, especially around the reasoning behind major decisions and organizational changes.
