Pros

Kaleido is great place to work in Raleigh area if you want to work in startup environment and explore blockchain space. They could be next unicorn out of Raleigh area in coming years. It is great place to be if you want to learn and grow as a software engineer. You would be expected to hit the ground running and would be able to see impact of your work very quickly. They use modern stack and frameworks, so skilled learned on the job would be valuable and highly relevant in the industry. You would be in company of amazing and super talented coworkers. I highly value my experience working at kaleido and am grateful for the mentorship received from coworkers and founders. Work location is great and is at the heart of downtown raleigh. They are also flexible with remote work. There is always good beer on tap if you are into it.

Cons

A very small team is responsible for building and managing and running a large scale cloud platform. A lot is expected of engineers for the size of the team. If at time as in happens in startup, if you end up working on things that you don't love (Someone has to do it), you might feel burn out.

Pros

Hi, I am responsible for recruiting here at Kaleido. I realize my review will be viewed differently, but Glassdoor seems to be a place where people tend to air only their grievances and not as much positivity. I have been here for over 2 years at the time of this writing. I sincerely enjoy my time with the team, and even more so during 2020. Kaleido has a strong product and we are building a new path forward in the blockchain industry, we have challenging engineering problems and it takes hard work. Kaleido is my 3rd start-up, after Bronto Software (acquired by NetSuite for $200M), and Pendo (local SaaS Unicorn). Crunch times and big demands are real in any startup and we are no different there, but from my experience my team is a group of caring, respectful, resourceful humans, who all are motivated by our work and the impact our efforts will have for Kaleido and our industry. This isn’t for every person that has ever joined Kaleido, but for our small, and growing team I hope it continues to be the norm for us moving forward.

Cons

I don't see this as a con personally, I like having an office, but in 2020 with more remote work happening, we do want to eventually get back into working in the office on a more regular basis as soon as it is safe to do so, this is not going to be for everyone. Our environment is flexible and we do work from home, but being on a permanently remote basis is not our general vibe.
