Pros
I have never worked at a better place than LeanKit: great leadership, great coworkers, great culture. Great leadership: The leadership isn't afraid to admit mistakes and make course corrections when necessary. If a plan or process doesn't work, it gets changed or replaced. At the same time, there is a clear vision and direction, unlike other places I've worked. I've never seen another company where the core values espoused really mean something (rather than mere jargon and buzzwords), and are really foundational to how we do what we do. Great coworkers: I'm continuously impressed with the quality of the employees--self-motivated, always seeking excellence, always doing their best. No one here is 'coasting' like at my previous jobs. They're picky about who they hire, and they've accumulated a fine bunch of folks. They inspire me to do my best. Great culture: The founders have been cognizant of the importance of company culture from the very start, and I think that's been key in navigating our rapid growth. I see a sincere and visible culture of experimentation and continuous improvement built into the company from the start. The whole company is kept in the loop about changes, strategies, etc... There's a sense of respect and responsibility; we are definitely not treated like children. They also practice what they preach in terms of Lean, Agile, Kanban, etc. 10/10 would seek job here again.
Cons
LeanKit is growing very fast, and that can be disorienting to navigate as an employee if you're not up for it. The 'org chart' is changing often enough it can be hard to keep up with.

Pros
The respect for people here is awesome, whether you are new or been here since the beginning of time. Leankit hires smart, humble people and trust their employees to deliver. The founders are down to earth and very supportive. Leankit is a lean company and follows a philosophy that all industries and organizations should take note. Maximize customer value, employee delight while minimizing waste. It's a bright future here and the work life balance is amazing.
Cons
Leankit is growing fast, so you will see new face (a great thing because of all the talented people), but we are outgrowing our building. There are some things that can be streamlined to make things better and the company is working towards that. Adapting to change is a small price for such a great company.

Pros
LeanKit has a great group of people who work here. The focus on communication and culture is like none I have ever seen. Executives are approachable, interested, and listen to what's being said. It's a very nurturing environment and the opportunity facing LeanKit is really exciting.
Cons
There are some growing pains around organizational processes and infrastructure. And, as with any startup, there is much to do. If you thrive in a less defined environment, it's an exciting place to be

Cons
None that I can think of!

Pros
The biggest Pro is the culture. Due to the quality of all the employees, we get a tremendous amount of work done and still seem to enjoy ourselves in the process. Everyone trusts each other and it shows in the quality of work being performed.
Cons
I don't think that I can come up with any cons.

Pros
Leankit helped me fire up my career and become a valuable asset to any company. The skills I learned at Leankit helped me understand the Saas model and how to continuously improve as a developer.
Cons
The only con about Leankit is sometimes they struggle with a focus for interns but if you are a hard worker then you have nothing to worry about.
