Pros

- Incredible work-life flexibility in terms of work hours and sick leave - The people are very focused on Kiva's mission -- this is the most socially-conscious group of technical people I've found in a work environment. And they are a delight to hang out with.

Cons

- It's a very young company -- lots of "family" dynamics, and they are going through some organizational growing pains - Know what you're getting into. If you're on the consumer web side, the magic is in the mission that you are helping to fulfill, not the technical challenge / cutting-edgeness of what you are doing.
