      Pros

      Kiva is full of enthusiastic, smart, mission-driven people. Impact really is at the center of everything Kiva does. It's a great place to work in tech while contributing to a larger mission. There's a good blend of folks who have been at Kiva for years and new people bringing in fresh perspectives. Work-life balance is also good and flexible. People take the time off to recharge.

      Cons

      - Kiva straddles the uncomfortable line between tech company and non-profit. It's uncomfortable because there is an expectation that we build a robust product with a fraction of the resources. - Career growth opportunities are very sparse. The organization is very flat and there are no formal growth ladders set in place. - Senior leadership has seen a lot of turnover in the past year which has created instability and re-orgs.

      Pros

      I really enjoy working at Kiva. Our mission is critical to creating equality for prospective entrepreneurs, no matter your socioeconomic, or geographic situation. Kiva creates a psychologically safe for all of our employees. Kiva values authenticity and supports employees from all walks of life. They value diversity, equity and inclusion and promoting a workforce of happiness, creativity and innovation.

      Cons

      The organization is lean and can sometimes feel pretty resource constricted, but the leadership team cares and takes a can do attitude to solve these types of issues and I appreciate that.
