Pros

Autonomy and great colleagues are the only accidental pros.

Cons

Kudos loves to position itself as a “great place to work,” but the reality is far from it. The gap between what leadership says and what actually happens is staggering, and employees see right through it. Executive leadership is widely regarded as a source of frustration rather than inspiration. They lack grounding in any formal methodologies, operations, or people practices, and instead operate on impulse — more like a group of kids playing “Let’s run a company” than experienced leaders building one. The result is an environment with no clear direction, no foundation for growth, and no investment in people. What you’ll find is plenty of rhetoric about culture, innovation, and values, but very little evidence of it in day-to-day operations. If you’re looking for stability, meaningful leadership, or a company that lives up to its own hype, this isn’t it.

Pros

The people I worked with were great! Being a startup the team isn't very large so you have the opportunity to learn many new skills and grow. The hours were flexible. The companies goals are admirable and Muni is motivating.

Cons

Startups have their inherent cons. There was a slight lack in structure. Roles and procedures were a little unclear. Salary wasn't the best but benefits and work-life balance made up for it. Uncertainty of the future can be a little unnerving.
