Pros
Kuali is trying to create a long-term, successful private company. The company is not about building for a quick IPO or sale. Employee and customer happiness are equally important and it shows daily in the decisions the company leaders make. Co-workers are smart, driven, opinionated, yet still nice, helpful and kind. Benefits are solid. Kuali is focused on building great products and long-term customer success. Sales and profits are important, but they are not the primary drivers in the company. There is consistent effort to build the right thing the right way the first time rather than rushing low-quality, high tech-debt features to market. Engineering teams are build comprehensive quality in from the start. The company is trying to establish a consistent pace that is long-term sustainable. There are no death marches. The CEO consistently discourages employees from working on evening and weekends. An intense, focused 40 hour work week is the expected norm.
Cons
A significant portion of employees work full-time remote. Like most companies in this scenario, Kuali has a challenge getting communication and collaboration to work well across the company. If you're looking for a company that has mature processes for every little thing, that's not Kuali. At Kuali you can help shape policies and processes as the company grows and matures.
