      Cocky leadership team

      Pros

      Kiva is an amazing organization with a great mission and vision; not to mention its impact. High calibre of talented colleagues all over the world Great location and office

      Cons

      The 'new' CEO and the leadership team are incredibly cocky. They are in a tearing hurry to get rid of everything that is 'old' instead of honoring it and building on it. This has led to deep discontent within the organization, that has led many to question what is valued around here (despite our new values).

      Thanks for your review. I'm truly sorry that you experience the new leadership team as being cocky. I'd love to learn more from you directly about what you are experiencing. What I know is that this team is deeply committed to creating a financially inclusive world and is working quite hard to create it and we absolutely need an inspired and engaged team to make the biggest impact. Please reach out to me to share directly how we can be even more effective. I'd love to hear. pam@kiva.org

      If it wasn't for the mission...

      Pros

      Staff and interns, especially long timers, are passionate, supportive and kind. Impactful organization that has done well and has new, exciting initiatives. Very strong internship and fellowship program.

      Cons

      Leadership - they don't seem to truly hear the voices of the staff. There's a lack of value and appreciation - not appreciating who has been there and done the work before they swept in. Hiring from the business world can be great - we need diversity and strong skills - but operating like a corporation in a cold way is not what we came for. There's a total lack of trust in the leadership. They get rid of people, who they say aren't needed, then hire for the roles again. This has happened multiple times in different departments.

      Thank you so much for your review. While it is hard to hear, I appreciate the spirit in which it was provided. Kiva is going through a lot of amazing changes and transformations. We are in the process of launching many new game changing products to create a financially inclusive world and as we all know, change is often difficult. I would love to grab coffee to see how I can best support you in this transition. I hope you reach out. pam@kiva.org
