- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- A 4-day work week. Even ignoring a 4-day work week, however, I found the work-life balance the best I've experienced (I have 10 years of experience across both big corporations and start ups). - Fully remote. - They literally have a tenant that says "be a great place to work". They prioritize employee happiness and take substantive actions to achieve it. - My manager (Lesley) is not just highly competent, but she was very human to me and the rest of the team. - Lots of opportunities for a variety of technical growth. You aren't locked into just the typical responsibilities of your role. - Knowledgable seniors that care about their product. - Very green field for Data Engineering. - Work is scoped, groomed, and prioritized very tightly. - Incredible transparency from executive leadership. - Fun people.
Cons
- Until a better solution is implemented, one has to continue to maintain a legacy solution based on a pretty cumbersome stack (for Data Engineering). - I have stand up at 8AM (due to timezone differences), which is a bit painful for me. - My salary is reasonable, but can't match what giants like Google or Amazon pay (I'm a former Amazonian).

Pros
- The company genuinely cares about you. In fact, they foster a culture of caring about their employees and ensure they have a good life both in and outside of work. Compared to many other companies who pay that concept lip service, they take hard actions to achieve it, such as piloting a 4-day work week. As of this review, they've been operating under a 4-day work week for months, without any negative impact to their business. - In terms of data engineering, a very green field. - The most transparent company I've worked for throughout my 10 years of experience in the tech industry. The CEO, CTO, and COO are people who are extra-ordinary in how they interact with and treat their employees, and you can tangibly see that exemplary humanism flowing down into middle management. - The interview relies more on your overall experience (and future potential) as an industry professional, as opposed to your ability to jump through theory and/or code gymnastics. - A clear desire to improve their systems and innovate, but not burn you out doing so. They have enough senior, in-house tech expertise that recognizes their architectural weaknesses and feature opportunities, and they make active efforts to execute on those opportunities, but they have do so at a sustainable pace. - Whenever I did want to work really hard for a big opportunity, I was given the autonomy to do so. As an individual contributor, I was never denied a voice. I could execute big initiatives when I felt passionate enough about them. - A very stable domain. I don't see the company ever losing enough customers to endanger its core business. - Lots of learning opportunities, and middle management actively puts tasks in your queue that help you learn something new when you tell them you want to learn it. - Just really nice, smart, kind, down-to-earth people.
Cons
- It's not Amazon, Meta, Google, or other tech giants in terms of scale. Having worked for Amazon (primarily AWS) for 5 years, I can say, at Kuali, you won't be exposed to staggeringly huge operations or single projects that can yield millions of dollars. - Total compensation cannot match the typical total compensation from tech giants. - I don't perceive a lot of career growth in a short period of time for individual contributors.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
A company that stays true to its values and cares about people.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Every single person who works at Kuali is collaborative, accountable, motivated, and humble. Kuali is led by example, and everyone from the C-Suite down lives by its core values. Kuali operates with integrity.
Cons
As a remote company, teams occasionally have to struggle with timezones for meetings. Some internal resources could be more organized.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Kuali has a great culture. There are a lot of really good people working there. Many people willing to help you learn and grow.
Cons
It's a smaller company so many people wear many hats and tend to get burned out.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Kuali is one of the few companies that truly lives by its values. The CEO and executive team are ALWAYS transparent - no matter how difficult the news may seem. The people are the absolute best part. I'd like to retire with these folks - if it were possible to keep everyone around and retire around the same time.
Cons
I wish I could see everyone F2F more often! Not just over Zoom. Pre-Covid we had retreats where we saw each other in person. I'm too excited to have that come back soon!

Pros
Great Team, Benefits, Employee Agency, and amazing support from management.
Cons
Frequent Overtime and honestly that's the only real downside.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
A great company to work for. Solid values and culture.
Cons
None that I can think of- and I've worked for a few companies of different sizes.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Kuali is trying to create a long-term, successful private company. The company is not about building for a quick IPO or sale. Employee and customer happiness are equally important and it shows daily in the decisions the company leaders make. Co-workers are smart, driven, opinionated, yet still nice, helpful and kind. Benefits are solid. Kuali is focused on building great products and long-term customer success. Sales and profits are important, but they are not the primary drivers in the company. There is consistent effort to build the right thing the right way the first time rather than rushing low-quality, high tech-debt features to market. Engineering teams are build comprehensive quality in from the start. The company is trying to establish a consistent pace that is long-term sustainable. There are no death marches. The CEO consistently discourages employees from working on evening and weekends. An intense, focused 40 hour work week is the expected norm.
Cons
A significant portion of employees work full-time remote. Like most companies in this scenario, Kuali has a challenge getting communication and collaboration to work well across the company. If you're looking for a company that has mature processes for every little thing, that's not Kuali. At Kuali you can help shape policies and processes as the company grows and matures.

Pros
Great food, nice people some good events.
Cons
Not a super great product, poor leadership. The reviews about this company are not accurate and misleading. Ask about why all the sales team has recently quit.
