Kapost reviews

Requires a commitment for excellence

I've made a lot of friends at Kapost and quite frankly, what's left of them are the only reason I continue to work here. I've watched entire departments turn over (some twice) from a significant lack of true leadership; we've lost a lot of very talented people due to micromanaging or leadership being too involved in the day-to-day, preventing the brilliant people that work under them from doing their job. Dozens of exit interviews, a handful of company surveys, years of Glassdoor reviews and yet, management refuses to look in the mirror. No amount of La Croix, happy hours, or company retreats is going to hide what employees have been saying since before I started working here and continue to say as they leave--leadership is what's holding this company back and is driving all the self-starting, internally driven innovative talent away. How much longer can leadership plead ignorance when they take ideas mid-development, overcomplicate it to the point of non-recognition to the original goal, force the execution of this contorted version and then be surprised when it doesn't succeed?
