Dishonest company and potential fraud

Pros

Hybrid work. Other than that, not much.

Cons

The product is extremely buggy due to poor engineering decisions and reluctance to modernize the tech stack. To make things worse, they let go of a few folks who knew what they were doing and replaced them with people who just want to get on the AI bandwagon. I worked there for a while and I can confirm that the culture is quite toxic. These folks hire people who have gamed the system. For example, I have literally had a conversation with an engineering manager bragging about how they got away while illegally working as a baby sitter on their student visa. Additionally, from what I have heard from friends still at the company, they have started off-shoring jobs to Mexico for cheaper labor while undercutting American talent. Very dishonest sales tactics. Always over selling non-existing features and expecting the engineering team to deliver on un-realistic timelines. When PMs pushback, they get fired and replaced with "Yes Boss" kinda people. The positive reviews you see on Glassdoor?? FAKE. Like someone said previously, take the positive reviews with a grain of salt. They are definitely written by HR.

Kiddom Response
6d
Before we get into addressing the feedback in this review, we'd like to begin by saying that based on the self reported details about this alleged former employee, we do not believe that they are who they claim to be. Several aspects of the reviewer's stated role, tenure, and description of the organization structure are inconsistent with our internal records. These discrepancies raise questions about the accuracy of the review and suggest that the reviewer either did not work at Kiddom in the capacity described or has not been part of the organization for a considerable period of time. However, since some of the allegations target the integrity and professionalism of members of our team, we believe it is important to address them directly. The suggestion that Kiddom is engaged in "potential fraud" or knowingly employs individuals who are not legally authorized to work in the United States is false. Kiddom works closely with experienced immigration counsel, participates in the E-Verify program, and partners with a professional employer organization (PEO) to help ensure compliance with all employment eligibility verification requirements. We follow established legal processes for all visa-sponsored employees and take our compliance obligations seriously. The example cited in this review relates to alleged conduct that occurred before an individual was employed by Kiddom. Regardless, the review attempts to draw conclusions about Kiddom's hiring practices and raises implications about members of our team. We reject those implications. We also want to address the assertion that Kiddom's positive Glassdoor reviews are "written by HR." That claim is simply not credible and unfairly dismisses the experiences of many current and former employees who have chosen to share positive feedback about their time here. Kiddom has received positive reviews spanning nearly a decade, including many that were posted before our HR function existed. While we understand that not every employee will have a positive experience, it is equally important to recognize that many others have had meaningful and rewarding experiences at Kiddom. Their perspectives deserve the same respect as any critical review. Several of the statements regarding our Product and Engineering teams are difficult to reconcile with the current composition and tenure of the team today. The same is true of several comments regarding our product and tech stack. This further demonstrates that if this reviewer has worked at Kiddom, they have not worked with Kiddom for quite some time. Reasonable people can disagree about business decisions, product strategy, or workplace culture. However, claims regarding legal compliance or the integrity of our employees deserve a factual response.

Pros

I worked at Kiddom for 5 years. Initially, it was kind of good. Met some really talented engineers and made friends for life.

Cons

The last 3 years have been the worst 3 professional years of my life. This is a terrible company to work for and I am not just saying this. I am providing explanation for as to why I think it is: 1. Engineering got exponentially worse: There are no clear boundaries between which team owns what. Sometimes, multiple teams own the same things and at other times, no team owns a particular codebase. 2. Biased: It appears like titles are just handed to people without much thought. Unfortunately, Glassdoor doesn’t let you name names. But there is one who is certainly not a manager material. Reeks of nepotism or favoritism. You only get recognized if you cozy up to the manager and VP. 3. Poor Product: The product is riddled with bugs. There have been back-to-back days where incidents were created because the app crashed as it couldn’t handle the load. Shows the thought put into the architecture. I pity the students and teachers using this product. And to make things worse, management got rid of the product team, who had some sense of what was going on, and replaced them with someone who wants to ruin the product further by making everything AI-centric. 4. AI bandwagon: I was lucky enough to get out before the AI fever inevitably gripped this company. But from what I have been hearing, they are mandating employees to use Claude/Codex for every single thing. Apparently, performance is literally based on number of tokens you use and number of AI assisted PRs you create. Investors really need to stem this money bleed and knock some sense into the management. 5. Poor benefits: No 401k match. An ok health insurance at best. Below average wages.
