Wasted Potential

Pros

Strong edge in hot area of market. Smart people. Creative colleagues who do some amazing work at a speed that few companies could match. Great R&D staff with true vision. Tons of promise to be a contender in the market. Some opportunity to try new things as long as your manager has your back.

Cons

Classic startup woes. CEO is a hothead who's more of a project manager than a leader, product gaps get in the way of growth, and big money spent on offices / off-sites while struggling with sales. Constant strategy shifts are hard to keep up with. HR team promoted alcohol and pizza parties heavily as the culture. Many are early in career & learning on the job, yet no job training and a lot of complaining and blaming when problems come up. A hot mess of a company.

Used to be a Great Company to Work for

Pros

Great people, will have an opportunity to do a lot of new stuff. Excellent place to grow yourself professionally. However, recently management has taken several negative steps, especially with the company culture - so a lot of the pros, are now in the past.

Cons

Kapost was once an excellent place to work. However, the company tried to grow too quickly, without building a solid foundation. When coming in, the culture was one of the strongest parts of Kapost - but over the last year, the company lost a founder who was a driving force for the culture - and since fired the HR team who were helping pick up the pieces. The CEO is a great person, but has too much heart in the company to look at what is best for the business - if Kapost is ever going to succeed, the board needs to look at him instead of the people they have been letting go. The ship is sinking and the strongest employees are jumping off fast.
