Pros
There are many amazing and talented people who work here. The comradery amongst those working together on projects is likely the main thing that keeps this company alive. It’s also completely remote, and there’s unlimited PTO.
Cons
Leadership is toxic and exhibits many of the red flags you can identify in a company. This is a trickle-down effect from the CEO, who grossly lacks awareness in his understanding of himself as a leader, a businessman, and someone capable of doing the right thing. There’s rampant favoritism to the detriment of of the company, often rewarding incompetence and “yes people” over hard work and innovation. I would argue the majority of positive reviews for Kunai come from those working on projects, who are removed from any visibility on internal operations. If they did, the pure chaos of how the company is run would make them question their career choices. No equity is shared outside of executive leadership, which supports the idea that the CEO is making a frenzied attempt to get acquired and enrich himself at the expense of everyone working for him. Unless you fight for a competitive salary at the very beginning, your ability to see gainful raises in salary are low, and you’ll still get worked to the bone. Unlimited PTO is nice, but it’s purely dependent upon the work required from any one of the insane contracts the company takes on. If pay transparency applied to Kunai, it would completely unravel.
