Dishonest company and potential fraud - Anonymous employee Kiddom Employee Review

Before we get into addressing the feedback in this review, we'd like to begin by saying that based on the self reported details about this alleged former employee, we do not believe that they are who they claim to be. Several aspects of the reviewer's stated role, tenure, and description of the organization structure are inconsistent with our internal records. These discrepancies raise questions about the accuracy of the review and suggest that the reviewer either did not work at Kiddom in the capacity described or has not been part of the organization for a considerable period of time. However, since some of the allegations target the integrity and professionalism of members of our team, we believe it is important to address them directly. The suggestion that Kiddom is engaged in "potential fraud" or knowingly employs individuals who are not legally authorized to work in the United States is false. Kiddom works closely with experienced immigration counsel, participates in the E-Verify program, and partners with a professional employer organization (PEO) to help ensure compliance with all employment eligibility verification requirements. We follow established legal processes for all visa-sponsored employees and take our compliance obligations seriously. The example cited in this review relates to alleged conduct that occurred before an individual was employed by Kiddom. Regardless, the review attempts to draw conclusions about Kiddom's hiring practices and raises implications about members of our team. We reject those implications. We also want to address the assertion that Kiddom's positive Glassdoor reviews are "written by HR." That claim is simply not credible and unfairly dismisses the experiences of many current and former employees who have chosen to share positive feedback about their time here. Kiddom has received positive reviews spanning nearly a decade, including many that were posted before our HR function existed. While we understand that not every employee will have a positive experience, it is equally important to recognize that many others have had meaningful and rewarding experiences at Kiddom. Their perspectives deserve the same respect as any critical review. Several of the statements regarding our Product and Engineering teams are difficult to reconcile with the current composition and tenure of the team today. The same is true of several comments regarding our product and tech stack. This further demonstrates that if this reviewer has worked at Kiddom, they have not worked with Kiddom for quite some time. Reasonable people can disagree about business decisions, product strategy, or workplace culture. However, claims regarding legal compliance or the integrity of our employees deserve a factual response.
