Best engineering gig I've had. - Engineer Kinvey Employee Review

I was given a lot of flexibility and autonomy to complete my job, while still being supported by my manager and team. Kinvey has hired a great team of people who are smart, curious, and eager to create great work. It was fun to be a part of this exciting space of technology.

It is hard to think of anything, but I will say this is a start up. Someone who works here needs to be flexible to change and be able to keep up with speed of their fellow employees with out getting flustered or frustrated.

- Great people - Good culture - A fair amount of games / fun to be had in the workplace - Transparency (see cons) - Complex product

- Extremely difficult product to sell (what makes it different from our competitors?) - Unclear goals from management - Nepotistic hires - Being held accountable for failures of other teams - Sales not hitting their numbers - Late game pivots to appeal to different market segments - A complete lack of transparency in the year 2016 - Brain drain (senior people leaving the company at an alarming rate) - Management is all a clique, and regardless of team performance nobody is held accountable / let go - Company laid off 20% of staff at the start of Q2, culture is pretty much dead at this point, everyone is scared and nobody is happy
