Pros

None - honestly not 1 - some say salary but you will be left unemployed after a month

Cons

Data theft, harassment, expected to dedicate your entire life to Kody, micromanagement, false promises from the very start, nightly toxic environment, no training, unethical behaviour, PLEASE DO NOT WORK OR BE CONNECTED TO THIS COMPANY, you will regret it. Is under investigation by several bodies, use unethical practices, fraud, you at told to “fake it till you make it” it will tarnish reputations. They keep people for 1-2 months and then fire them after trying to get their data and you are let go within 10 minutes, no prior warning, told that your are doing a good job, given false assurances and then let go. PLEASE BOTH CUSTOMERS AND POSSIBLE EMPLOYEES - stay clear

KodyPay Response

Hello, thanks for taking the time to read and consider feedback about Kody. We have recently seen an increase in critical reviews that appear to coincide with some recent departures from the company. While we do not comment on individual cases, we do want to provide some broader context for prospective candidates or readers seeking a balanced view. At Kody, our goals are ambitious! We are building complex infrastructure in a very competitive space. This demands a high level of ownership, speed and accountability from everyone in the team. This intensity isn't for everyone and we are always trying to be transparent about that through the hiring process. This being said, we are aware that we are not perfect... we are still growing. We are actively working to improve our internal processes, onboarding and communications as we scale and move into new geographies. We also want to clarify that to the best of our knowledge, Kody is not subject to any regulatory investigations. We take compliance and ethics very seriously and we do not tolerate any form of misconduct. Despite the challenges of operating in our industry, we are very proud of what the team has been able to accomplish. In just over two years we have: 1) Raised over $30m in funding 2) Partnered with some of the worlds leading brands 3) Processed $1b in transaction volume across the UK and HK Working here is not easy, but we are lucky to be supported by a team of smart, driven individuals who care about building something meaningful. We work very hard and we celebrate wins together. We also have benefits such as health and dental insurance, enhanced parental leave, free lunch in our office everyday, regular team events and a budget to help you learn and develop. Thanks again for taking some time to learn a bit more about us!

Pros

Coworkers are genuinely supportive and willing to guide you along the way.

Cons

- There's a possibility that your time here pulls your career in a completely different direction than intended. - Feedback on work from c-level is often vague at best — apparently, the ability to "read between the lines" is a required skill here. I also still wonder whether "NOW" actually counts as a project deadline. - Check work email when you sense any changes within the company, you might find something interesting.

Pros

To the few good people who are working at Kody now and are simply sticking it out, credit to you.

Cons

Regardless of what you think about the integrity of Glassdoor ratings in general, if you take a step back and consider that Kody’s ratings have been SO POOR over a long period of time, this will tell you that it’s not a fluke or only a few disgruntled employees venting their frustrations. Statistically, so many low-scoring reviews over a long period mean that these experiences are no longer outliers; they are the norm. At the time of posting this review, Kody’s Glassdoor score was 2.2 / 5. I asked ChatGPT and Gemini whether this was considered a poor score through a cultural lens. AI went to work and presented the following descriptions of how bad the score was: A flashing red siren A toxic benchmark A badge of dishonour A chronic dysfunction A system failure The list goes on. It’s also worth noting that every single founding employee and co-founder has left or been exited by the current C-Suite, who now have full “control” and “monitor” all employees’ activity. Experienced leaders have come and gone. One leader left within a few months when they realised the Executive team and the business were not in a fit state. Employee benefits that Kody said they offered in previous Glassdoor responses do not exist. Employee benefits had been promised but never provided (even though HR posted on Glassdoor that these were offered, this is, however, untrue), which then calls into question the integrity of the HR team and executive leadership. What else have they gaslighted employees about? You just need to read the other reviews. Kody will no doubt look to reply or spin this review with an AI-assisted response saying that start-ups are not for everyone, and Kody cares about honest dialogue and is proud of its achievements, etc. Everyone can plainly see what it’s really like to work at Kody, no matter how many times they post a generic, hacked-together reply to counter each review. Kody has proactively replaced headcount with possibly cheaper resources as a mercenary strategy to manage business cash flow. There are times when tough decisions have to be made to manage a business; however, while you are working there, you will always have a target on your back, and you could easily be the next one out the door. You might even have to train your replacement before you are shown the door. Why would you join and trust a business that has chaotic and controlling leadership, a toxic gaslighting culture led from the top and advocated by middle management (one can only guess that they are locked in due to golden-handcuffs) who lie about the benefits they offer, constant employee churn every month, and has exited easily more than 30% of the workforce from the business to save on costs over the past 12-18 months? If your answer is still “yes” even after reading all the reviews, then good luck to you.
