Stay away - toxic! - Anonymous employee Kiwi.com Employee Review

Unclear vision and strategy, launching useless projects without asking experts and calling it later “failing fast”. If you’re not friends with the right people and won’t say “yes” to everything what they want, don’t expect too much. The company is just acting chaotic and then panicking about financial results, without caring for people, culture and work-life balance. Kiwi is promoting wrong people to higher positions, accepting their behaviour like bullying people, making jokes of others, being rude, unprofessional and two-faced. No one cares about ESAT, feedback or promoting good leaders. You can be fired anytime, your position might be cancelled, your development plans zeroed and - who needs learning and development? Kiwi doesn’t. Who needs good, experienced leaders? Not Kiwi. Today you’re here, tomorrow not anymore. Decisions are made from one day to another, no one knows, what will happen next - no one considers if you have a family and are willing to travel for weeks - they can tell you on Monday, that you're travelling on Friday. Everyone is afraid to speak in meetings and some people will do everything to please the most powerful people. If you think Kiwi will allow you to learn, do mistakes and improve, you’re wrong. The company doesn’t respect its own people. CEO is getting drunk on the company parties or coming with heavy hangover to the office. This is probably leading by example. People are being fired because Kiwi needs to improve the financial results, or someone very important didn’t like them - don't expect any transparency in communication. No money for learning, no money for vacation (just 4 weeks), no development support, no support even from the higher management, as they’re just immune towards authentic leadership. Most of the C-Level and Directors are just arrogant people in darkness. A bunch of ignorants, that cares only about their salaries and prestige. If you consider joining Kiwi, don’t do it - stay away from this toxic environment.
