Kin Insurance reviews

Kin touts diversity and inclusion as a core value, but it is simply something to be talked about, and never to be followed-through on. If you ask why, HR says it's a "leading question" that they don't want to talk about. Compensation isn't the worst, but you can certainly make more money somewhere else with a lot less headache and frustration. Benefits aren't anything to write home about. If you work toward a promotion, you have a better chance of achieving it if you are white. Alternatively, you can easily take on a team title for extra responsibility, but with no extra compensation. Kin is not invested in the growth of their employees. Leadership is extremely hands off. The key to success is: ship your tickets, don't ask too many questions, and don't make anything their problem. Kin claims it has a blameless culture, which translates to no one gets blamed until something goes wrong - and it's rarely leadership to blame. Management has also demonstrated seriously questionable behaviors regarding people of color, where making discriminatory and racist comments is only the tip of the iceberg. A job at Kin is just a layover on the way to a real software company.

Working from home can sometimes make communication tough so it may be a little bit until you get an answer. The job is pretty repetitive so it can get boring at times. Its still a new company so a lot changes which can also be a pro.
