Kickstarter reviews

Often feels chaotic and tense, upper management isn't very transparent about larger initiatives and isn't good at communicating, especially since so many changes have taken place over the past year. Doesn't feel like there are clear long-term goals the company is aiming for and working towards, and there's minimal sense of urgency. The culture seems to be deteriorating, and there's a lack of genuine initiatives to improve culture. Kickstarter's investment in existing employees seems to be dwindling in favor of hiring new ones.

• Has experienced some growing pains and bouts of identity crisis, going from "young" startup to mature company, resulting in several organizational changes and changing of the guard (many KSR veterans leaving). But new leadership is making progress on that front. • Has had a leadership vacuum at times and in parts of the org, but that's changing rapidly with key hires being made by our in-house hiring team. • Used to have cliques of immature, entitled millennials (see some of the reviews on here), but that's changing and the school-yard mentality is going away. • If you have conservative values you'll likely not share them. Not much room for contrarian opinions, and it's too PC at times (luckily this is changing too, with more mature people getting hired).
