Pros
I saw this one star review and I have to share my experience. Also to those who read this, go do your research and not just rely on these biased reviews *peace*: Let’s answer the issues, shall we? 1. Competitive salary - I think it goes both ways. If you’re unhappy with your salary then talk to your manager and ask for more? You have accepted to be employed at this company and you have agreed with all the terms. Talk talk talk not just complain and don’t own up to your end. And if you ask me, I have negotiated my salary and I got a very positive result and the whole company even got more Esop shares. I mean what?! 2. It’s a startup not corporate. I don’t know what you expect but startups work differently, mate? Perhaps you’re in the wrong place? The best ideas win. Basically startup = hustle. You’re definitely in the wrong place. 3. Family uhm… it’s a family business? Erm, what’s wrong with that? They seem to be working really well together that’s why the company is successful as it is? Also founders are basically married and their family supported them since the beginning. 4. Culture is better than my previous jobs. If you’ve seen what I’ve seen this is night and day. I feel heard, safe and confident. There’s no one in the team that I wouldn’t grab a beer with. 5. Perks - mate, why are you hating on the perks? We get free lunch that costs $20-$40 a person, drinks, snacks, free trips, free language lessons, trainings, flexible work, open door policy… I mean go read more about the company. It’s awesome. 6. Benefits? They offer it to us. EAP which I’ve used for counselling so many times plus company share (Esop) —— you don’t find all these elsewhere! 7. Diversity and inclusion - uhm the company is soooo diverse (see website and Instagram). We have been doing the survey and talk. We are literally a finalist to some diversity award. We have a prayer room, celebrates some cultural days and have language classes. Sure, there’s more that could be done but saying the team isn’t diverse and inclusive is just false news. More cons - again talk to people who actually work there *peace*
Cons
If you read this and read the bad review I think you should do a proper research and detective work. Kami has done amazing and I’m thankful for the great years! Of course there will always be bad eggs and nothing is perfect but things also change fast. Like couple people got promoted recently (not me unfortunately) but they deserve it and I’m not hiding behind the keyboard and being bitter. I’d talk to my manager and see what I can do to be like them. Kia kaha
