Pros

Kernel has great culture and great a management. Perks like free lunches, open kitchen is great also.

Cons

Since they're still a new start up company, the funds are not all there. The pay is great, but anything goes south, you're let go just like that with no warning or it's crazy! Half the people at the company along with me, got let go today. They're amazing, but they need more investors.
