Toxic - Anonymous employee Kikoff Employee Review

-Fair compensation, reasonable work-life-balance, and good in-office perks -People at Kikoff are genuinely some of the nicest and smartest people I've ever worked with -Good growth opportunity for people looking to push the boundaries of their responsibility

-Company feels like a startup quickly growing up, with a lot of processes and guardrails being established. This can at times feel like culture is being changed/eroded. -Upper management is sometimes a little opaque about goals and directions, more transparency will allow everyone at the company to better align on prioritization.

Good location for the San Francisco office.

Working here is incredibly exhausting because everything feels chaotic and reactive. Senior management constantly changes their minds and pivots the strategy, so you end up working hard on a project only for it to be scrapped a week later. There is an extreme amount of micromanagement, and deadlines are just handed down from the top without any real input from the people actually doing the work. This has led to massive burnout and people are leaving constantly. On top of that, the internal tools and processes are totally broken and disorganized, making even simple tasks take twice as long. There’s also no clear path for promotions or career growth, and leadership doesn't really seem open to hearing constructive feedback or changing how things are run.
