Pros

Management is approachable, personable, and flexible. I've never worked somewhere where I felt such a stake in the company, and that is largely driven by excellent management. There is catered lunch every Monday, which is always a hit. Kitewheel is growing fast and we get to work with some of the best and brightest agencies The office is in an excellent location in the Leather District downtown Turnover is relatively low

Cons

Sometimes it takes quite a while for new business to come in, and the sales cycle is long. Client requests are difficult and the team will need to grow to keep up.

Pros

Forward thinking start up with amazing resources from a parent with 12 years of software experience within the Financial Services Vertical. Software has been repositioned towards Marketing Technologies and Consumer Experience execution. Great leadership, no politics with everyone charging in the same direction. A joy to toil away at making a new market in the Consumer Engagement Hub Space. Gartner Cool Vendor for 2014. Flexible attitudes with a work hard and play hard demeanor. I have been in database marketing for 20+ years with small and large enterprises, this is one of the best Gigs I have experienced in a long, long time. Smart People, No Bull, One goal!

Cons

Small company with BIG aspirations. Have to be self motivated and dedicated to preaching the gospel of Consumer Engagement Hub Strategy. Opening Doors within the World's largest Agencies and Marketing Services Providers who are busy, demanding and always "in a meeting". Brand Equity within Kitewheel's marketplace is earned due to start-up status. You have to have thick skin and "Chutzpah" as a Sales Lead or Professional Services resource.

Pros

Its well funded and is an interesting technology in a burgeoning space. If they can keep their developers and implementation people from leaving they should have success.

Cons

Typical struggles of a small start up company. A lack of a good resource mix and a very small dev team that turns over a too quickly gets in the way of progress. Leadership can also get in its own way and may keep this company as a nice little business vs. explosive growth. Maybe that's a good thing. It really depends on what you want as an employee.
