Pros

If I had to pick something, people were generally nice. That's about it.

Cons

Nothings had a system, which was the actual problem. You'd get an email about a process, then another email saying it changed, then you find someone else doing it completely different and nobody could tell you when that switched or why, which just gets old. Projects would stall because nobody knew who was supposed to sign off or where things were in the pipeline- just endless " I thought you were handling that" conversations. Documents existed in like three different places, people didn't use the shared drives right, meeting happened without agendas and somehow you were supposed to know what you were responsible for afterward, and when you'd ask how to do something basic people would literally shrug and say " good question." Things fell through constantly. It wasn't laziness, everyone was trying, but there were no actual clear protocols or ownership of anything, so everything just dragged on longer than it needed to.

Pros

-Fair compensation, reasonable work-life-balance, and good in-office perks -People at Kikoff are genuinely some of the nicest and smartest people I've ever worked with -Good growth opportunity for people looking to push the boundaries of their responsibility

Cons

-Company feels like a startup quickly growing up, with a lot of processes and guardrails being established. This can at times feel like culture is being changed/eroded. -Upper management is sometimes a little opaque about goals and directions, more transparency will allow everyone at the company to better align on prioritization.
