Not worth your time without connections - Former Employee KiwiCo Employee Review

Good people who are easy to work with. Very collaborative environment

None as of yet. The reviews about the workplace being negative appear to be taken seriously by the company, and they are actively making a strong effort to turn the office into a positive place to work.

The people were the best part of the experience, genuinely kind, smart, and hardworking. There were many strong individual contributors doing their best to make things work despite the environment.

The core issue was the CEO. She micromanaged to an extreme degree, inserting herself into day-to-day decisions in a way that created constant bottlenecks and slowed execution across the company. It felt like the company had grown well beyond her ability to effectively lead it. There was little evidence of meaningful forecasting or long-term planning, and decisions often felt reactive rather than strategic. The most telling example was continued hiring right up until a major layoff in January 2025 that impacted a large portion of the company.
