Pros

The company started fine, but then the cons appeared quickly and there were no pros left.

Cons

No training, moving to all AI code for production, toxic workplace, ADA harassment, lack of accurate resource management for projects (frequently have to work 12+ hour days and/or weekends and holidays with no extra compensation), pay is well below market rate for many of their employees area of living

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all reviews seriously and want to respond thoughtfully. We're sorry your experience at KinderSystems didn't meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We do want to address a few of the specific concerns raised: Training: We invest meaningfully in onboarding and ongoing development for all employees. When team members express gaps, we work directly with them — including dedicated one-on-one time with their manager — to provide additional support. We stand behind that commitment. Work hours: We understand that workload concerns are real and worth taking seriously. That said, individual schedules and the factors that shape them can vary significantly, and don't always reflect a systemic resourcing problem. We continuously evaluate how work is distributed across our teams. Compensation: We regularly benchmark pay against market data and are committed to offering competitive compensation. We encourage anyone with specific concerns to raise them directly with their manager, or the People Department. AI and technology: Like most software companies, we are thoughtfully exploring how AI tools can support our teams — not replace them. Our employees remain central to what we build and how we serve our customers. Workplace culture: We do not tolerate harassment of any kind, including on the basis of disability. Any employee who experiences or witnesses this behavior is encouraged to report it immediately through our established channels. We wish you well in your next chapter.

Pros

You get to work from home, they pitch in a few bucks for your Internet costs. Instead of a Christmas party or bonus you get a gift card. And you get to clock in and out just like you did when you were in High School and had that part-time summer job.

Cons

As has been pointed out age discrimination is a very real thing. They have become super heavy on the management side and to this point have been firing workers left and right. Hard work and product knowledge mean little, and it is clear that the venture capital company that bought them a year ago is looking to cut costs so that it becomes attractive to sell off later.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Working remotely from home can be a positive experience for a lot of employees, but you are correct that it makes holiday celebrations more challenging. We are happy to announce our second annual all company retreat has been scheduled for next spring, where just like last year, we will spend time celebrating in person as a team. To address your comments about clocking in and out, all nonexempt hourly employees are required to clock in and clock out to ensure we pay you correctly, including overtime pay. The federal government sets guidelines about which roles should be classified as exempt or nonexempt but you are welcome to reach out to me if you have questions about how your role is classified. At KinderSystems we do not make any employment decisions based on age, and we’re proud of the diversity of our employee population. Over this last year we have focused on not only creating the framework to support our growth, but also on the employee experience. We have grown our leadership and management teams to ensure that all of our employees have the support and guidance they need to meet their goals. We have implemented a 401(k) with a company match, created a more generous PTO policy, and improved company health and wellness benefits. If you have additional concerns you are welcome to reach out to me directly at kbyers@kindersystems.com. Thanks, Kate Byers VP of People
