      "Fast-Paced, Creative Environment"

      Pros

      KIND is a very fun and exciting place to work. Even as the company has quickly grown, its entrepreneurial culture remains intact and KIND has a fast-paced, creative environment that you won’t find at many traditional CPG companies. The talent level is extremely high and while many are still early in their careers, I’ve never worked with more talented and passionate people. The social mission of spreading kindness comes from the top down which definitely creates a sense of purpose. Also, all full-time team members are owners in the company which helps to create a deeper level of investment in the work. You also get to eat unlimited KIND bars.

      Cons

      The business is in a state of transition and KIND is adjusting to rapid growth and an influx of talent across all levels. Leadership is in the process of refining the company’s infrastructure – for entrepreneurial-types, this opens the door for opportunity but it could be a poor fit for someone looking for a more static, process-driven environment.

      A year in transition for KIND

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Opportunities for different roles, especially early career employees 2. Youthful energy in HQ 3. Free case of product each month for full-time employees 4. Generous stock option program for pre-2015 hires

      Cons

      1. Loss of start-up culture - bureaucracy of a bigger company due to some newer C-level management while loss of nimbleness that made this a great place to work 2. Founders syndrome - CEO (Daniel) has done an incredible job taking the company to where it is but is now too involved in decision making, frustrating experienced staff which may explain several recent senior level resignations 3. Very uneven levels of management competence 4. Morale/ retention levels
