First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. While it is great to read that you liked those on your team, it is disappointing you felt deadlines were arbitrary and the code is bad. The work our Product & Technology teams do to continue to build out our platform and its functionality is impressive. The pace of work at Kazoo is fast to support deadlines to meet market and customer demands, hence our cultural value ‘be quick, but don’t hurry’. While we appreciate standards of code can vary, the code our Technology team puts forth continues to support the longevity of Kazoo for our customers and for decades to come.

Pros

So much opportunity for growth - everyone wears so many different hats and there's no walls between departments. If you're interested in learning about something new or exploring career opportunities outside of your department you have the freedom to do so. The benefits - Our own product and the perks from that. Good medical, dental, and vision coverage. Flexible PTO still amazes me to this day. Flexibility for remote work or working from home some of the days of the week. Stocked break room with a BEVI for unlimited sparkling water. Fun office events and office wide celebrations. The PEOPLE! - My gosh, never have I met a more committed and genuine group of people in my life. All of my coworkers are a delight and such hard workers! Never have I felt more excited about tackling intense projects or going to after hour happy hours.

Cons

Lots of change - If you don't like change, this is not the place for you. While we have been around since 2013, we still have the startup mentality. If I look back to when I first started (over a year and a half ago) to now it feels like a different company... but again, the people and product are who really make it great and an amazing place to be. Open office Environment - I personally don't HATE it, but wouldn't mind nicer desks with more privacy.
