Pros

Fully virtual/WFH, with options to come into the office if you want Co-workers are really nice. A lot of fun channels in slack where people feel connected Equity options, have never had that at an employer before Very casual environment, but people are also really competent. Communication seems really transparent compared to some of the other companies I've been at.

Cons

All the technology pieces (getting laptop, setup and first day) were a little confusing. Maybe thats just onboarding remotely. Most things are done in google sheets/docs when there is probably a better tool to use.

Pros

Remote work, decent benefits for some things. If you thrive in high stress/high pressure situations, with constant change & pivoting priorities, this place is for you.

Cons

Kin having the value “Operate lean; deliver more” should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about working at this company. There is little to no training yet the expectations to produce & perform are very high. Flexible/unlimited PTO is part of the benefits but if you feel like you can’t ever take time off because you’re so busy with work/deadlines, it’s not really a benefit. Not to mention, the time leading up to taking more than a few days off is SO stressful trying to get everything done or ready to be handed off that you question if it’s even worth it. Burnout is a very real thing at this company. They terminate people quite frequently here so you are often in fear of losing your job which adds another level of stress on top of everything else. While they are flexible, the work/life balance is poor. Working evenings & weekends is frequently necessary to meet deadlines.
