Pros

The people I worked with at Kapow were talented and caring. We worked really hard. We had fun serving our clients and got to work with some really impressive venues.

Cons

We were growing fast, then I guess the money started running out because all of a sudden everything changed. Employees started disappearing all over the country. Then we were "changing strategy" and more people disappeared. Then half the company was canned in January, even while the company is still hiring. "Partner" "loyalty" "family" were all words thrown around by the executives. But it only applies to them - the founders and their family members were all spared the layoffs. #welove as a company value was a total con.

Kapow Response

Thank you for your feedback. Kapow recently made difficult decisions in order to focus solely on our strategic direction as an online events marketplace. We eliminated some roles that had served Kapow well in its earlier stages but were not aligned with our growth path, although not as many as you cited in your review. We greatly appreciate those who contributed to Kapow’s early growth and wish you much success in the future.
