Pros
There's still a small portion of kin that has great people. The benefits are also good.
Cons
-The advertise that they promote within but that is false as you rarely ever get to see anyone be promoted. The only people that did get promoted within are OGs who started back when kin had a handful of employees. The worst part is they hire from outside and have people who wanted the promotion, train the new hires. Again, this is across all departments as well. -Upper management doesn't care about anything but numbers and it's evident when people go to them and are quickly dismissed. -People are afraid to be honest. We have lattice reviews that go on every quarter, but people can't be open as the managers can read the reviews and quickly figure out who it is. Then there's another website they use that's supposed to also be anonymous, but we all suspect that it's not. -There's disrespect to certain departments such as CS. -When you volunteer to be part of a project you're put to do all the work and never get credit for it. This goes across all departments both on the sales and the tech side. -They put you to do work that is outside of your job description and you don't get compensated for it. If you even bring it up and ask for compensation for the extra work you get dismissed and get gaslighted into them saying they the opportunity is worth more and you should be grateful for even being considered. -A lot of people that did speak up for others are no longer with kin and its due to either them getting tired of speaking up without being hear or they got demoted or placed in a bogus made up role. -They waste money on useless things such as the "tacos" which is a platform that keeps track of how many taco emojis you receive. Not only do a handful of people use it, but that's money that could be going to people's pockets to keep them happy. -They did nothing to maintain loyal and caring employees. After speaking to people who have quit (all from different departments including uw,sales, cs, prod,etc) they all admitted to being undervalued and underpayed. -They claim to care about the culture but it all feels like it's just to claim that they're trying.
