      Inspiring mission, team, and technology

      Pros

      Kiva is a truly mission-driven organization trying to address challenges people face across the globe. As a software engineer, there is interesting, challenging, and satisfying technical work to be done to serve the mission. There are real problems to solve, some of them benefit from technology (but not all!), and every day I get to work with a great team while never losing sight of the people we aim to serve.

      Cons

      As a non-profit, Kiva is resource-constrained and things can feel a little stretched thin at times. Culturally Kiva encourages a sustainable pace, but with so much to do that all feels important and worthwhile, it's easy to overextend yourself.

      Thanks so much for your feedback. I couldn't agree more with your statement. We all feel stretched at times, but learning to slow down and breathe and say, "I would love to help you, but I am at capacity at the moment" is definitely okay to say too. please note, I share your sentiment and can sympathize.

      Pros

      my coworkers were cool and there was a great work/life balance. they put a lot of effort and energy into team building.

      Cons

      the vision for the company is inconsistent with what it initially set out to do. management is deficient and disorganized. there is an extremely high rate of turnover lately.

      Pros

      - doing good for the world - leading edge technology pioneer - brilliant employees - international scope to everything that you do - talent is rewarded & recognized

      Cons

      - as a non profit, the salaries are a bit under market - benefits are great if you're single, but not so much if you're married - mission district location has its pluses & minuses
