Not a Healthy Place to Work

Pros

Travel to London was nice

Cons

CEO loves to micromanage every aspect of the company then complain about how much harder he works than everyone else. The lack of tenured tech employees with true startup building experience is what has driven it into the ground. I wouldn't wish Kalo on my worse enemy

Very unfortunate leadership

Pros

Great market fit, attention of some big brands, product getting better

Cons

We have had close to 30 people leave over the last few months including big executives that had plenty of experience to make Kalo a great place to work. Unfortunately, top down doesn't get how to treat employees and the value of being genuine or authentic. Truly a bummer because everyone is leaving and will continue to.

Since this review, our CEO has built out a seasoned leadership team, including our CTO (ex-SuccessFactors/SAP), VP Product (ex-LinkedIn/Wealthfront), and COO (ex-realtor.com/Barclays).

Poor leadership, great Product

Pros

The concept of freelancer management is rapidly growing, and Kalo's product is solving a large and archaic problem for many companies.

Cons

The CEO and yes people he surrounds himself with. If you disagree with the CEO at anytime, you are blacklisted, and most times completely ignored. He needs to grow up and learn from his shortcomings.
