Pros

I’ve really enjoyed my time at Kodo so far. As an engineer, you actually get to own the features you build from end to end rather than just taking tickets. The engineering team is smart but has zero ego everyone is super approachable and willing to brainstorm. You’ll definitely level up your skills here because you get to touch a lot of different parts of the tech stack.

Cons

The classic startup tradeoff: because they move fast, the priorities can pivot without much warning. This sometimes leads to sudden context-switching or tight deadlines when a new requirement drops. It’s not for someone who wants a slow, predictable 9to5 every single day.

Pros

Working with people from other countries was interesting.

Cons

The money being moved from one business to the other seemed shady and we often would not receive bonuses even after meeting our goals.

Pros

There is no single pro I can think of..

Cons

Toxicity at its peak. Supreme Micro-Management and unhealthy work environment. They have a use and throw policy. Please don't fall prey to all the 3/4/5 star ratings. These all ratings are fabricated and unreal. Company forces you to put these ratings so that their reality doesn't gets exposed. All fake and false promises are made during hiring and when you fall prey to them within 3 weeks they start showing their colours I have saved my career by quitting this company. The moment you enter the office it feels like you have entered a crematorium. For all those who come across this review kindly join at your risk.
