Pros

Benefits are good. Product pretty well known.

Cons

They cannot keep sales team staffed which is very telling.... Also lost lots of key engineers which makes quality of product suffer.. Suck ups promoted over top performers. Very passive aggressive culture instilled by management team. Starting to constrict the flexibility that was once one of the pros of working there.

Pros

Good benefits. New office so nice working environment.

Cons

Turnover big issue especially on engineering and sales teams. Problem attracting and retaining talent which in turn allows some mediocre performers to stay longer by default. This impacts the rest of us negatively. Many members of founding engineering team gone over past year which invites questions about continued quality of product. Sr. Management team as a whole lacks professionalism and some members appear to be over their heads.

Pros

Smart people and good atmosphere. I learned a ton.

Cons

Management is ok at best. Sometimes kayak's upper management seemed over boastful and cocky when they really shouldn't.
