      Awesome mission and impact; poor management

      Pros

      The mission and impact you make working here are unparalleled, and it's a place I'm genuinely proud to work at. People are authentic in their care, and there are awesome people throughout the company. Great flexibility for work-life balance. New CEO is promising and motivating. Pay and benefits are generally less than corporate, but still competitive.

      Cons

      As mentioned in many reviews, lack of career growth / movement is still a major issue, and (white) men are consistently favored in advancement when it does happen. Management is ineffectual at best and actively preventing innovation and culture improvements at worst. The culture in engineering is extremely senior heavy and often unfriendly for underrepresented groups. There is some desire to change this but, again, blocked by change resistant management, as well as a new CTO that is deprioritizing empathetic leadership and DEI for a more corporate model and mindset. Collaboration between departments has suffered over time, and it's tough to stay connected to the mission when you don't interact with it directly.

      Thanks so much for your review of Kiva. We really appreciate your feedback and would like to acknowledge your comments about disorganization and getting too personal at times. We strive to really make a Kiva a place that everyone can work together and collaborate and sometimes people can get too personal, so apologize for that experience. Yes, sometimes we are a bit disorganized sometimes and it is important to tighten up our processes. I will make note of this and bring this up to leadership.
