New employee first impressions

Pros

+ Koalafi showed very well during the interview process. They were both flexible and proactive in expediting the interview process to meet my unique needs. They made a strong impression that they were willing to invest in me, and wanted me on the team. + The company culture has backed up the impression I received during the recruting process. Koalafi appears to have genuine interest in the career development of each employee. This spirit flows from their CEO at the top which fosters a strong culture. + Related to the above, there is a culture of transparency in support of honest debate. The company holds a mirror up to itself and openly shares/critiques performance against strategic targets. Asking "how can we do better" seems to be woven into the Koalafi fabric. Again, I think the CEO sets a strong tone on this point. + Koalafi employees have proven to be high caliber. People are sharp, entrepreneurial, and committed to delivering best in class work. + hybrid work environment. 2 days per week in office.

Cons

The cons from my first impressions are mostly related to the financial industry Koalafi operates in, which is new to me: - High degree of federal and state level regulation. - Business opportunities are tightly coupled with financial markets. - Both of the above combine to make the space feel somewhat commoditized. Less open waters to differentiate our business, however, there doesn't appear to be a lack of growth opportunities despite this.

Thank you for sharing your experience working at Koalafi! We are glad you are finding our focus on excellence and growth mindset rewarding. As you note, working in a regulated, capital-intensive industry does pose constraints to our business. We believe though that there is still much to achieve and differentiate on working within those constraints, through things like building and delivering a world class UX powered by technology (we very much look forward to collaborating with you there!). Thank you again for the feedback, and please keep it coming as you ramp up. William D., Chief Product Officer

A company that lives by its values

Pros

Koalafi is a company that lives by its core values: Focus on what’s most important Set clear expectations and deliver Embrace challenges to reach our full potential Ask, “How can this be better?” Move fast together Employees regularly reference the values, prioritize based on the values, and are performance managed by the values. There is a clear sense of who we are because of this. Koalafi is a meritocracy. Top performers are rewarded and promoted and Koalafi team members can be confident that they're surrounded by other ambitious professionals that challenge them to grow. The People team does a great job collecting employee feedback in weekly pulse surveys and implementing this feedback across the board. Compensation and benefits are competitive.

Cons

We have a bias to moving quickly—sometimes at the expense of moving thoughtfully and with coordination. We do not always have modern tools and sometimes lack the structure to achieve our top potential.
