Pros

+ good product, that clients love + wonderful people you can collaborate with and learn from + mostly remote work with occassional meetups

Cons

- COO makes erratic, spontaneous decisions and is a very bad manager; CTO lacks empathy and projects his shortcomings on the team - they're laying off people without logic, PIP, severance or simple decency - we've lost amazing performers, including people managers, sales, recruitment - all on a whim, even though those people continously excelled at their jobs - toxic people are rewarded and promoted - even though they hurt their teams and people leave because of them - even though work's mostly remote, all important decisions happen in the office and through politics - there's a huge shift towards outsourcing workforce, which impacts the quality of the product and safety of our customers - company values are a joke at this point, there's nothing "human" about how employees are treated I hope I'll find a better gig soon, as surviving here takes a toll on everyone's mental health each day - the team's scared, overworked and in some cases- severely underpaid. If you're considering joining Kisi - do yourself a favour and stay away.

Thanks for your feedback! Means a lot. With a remote environment it is difficult to make everyone feel they are part of the decision making process, but we are trying our best! Since physical access is part of what we sell, we see the workforce over time trending back to the office. After all we want to live what we stand for. We wish you the best as well.

Pros

Great coworkers Innovative product Great place for new grads wanting to get into tech Most go above and beyond to get their job done Flexible schedule for the most part

Cons

Management structure doesnt make sense at times (Stockholm has the tech team yet hardware production is being overseen by a "junior product manager") Feedback is often ignored till critical times to execute then "meetings" to figure out why things got to that point. No long term planning for employee growth outside of the marketing and sales team Tech team and Product team seem to not be on the same page when it comes to product launches and what/when features should be announced to clients Compensation didn't match industry minimum pay for most job titles with the exception of Sales Realistic logistic.times not communicated to customers when inventory is low leading to scrambling and last minute prioritization Some employees take advantage of the freedom and come in late daily or leave early Sometimes it feels like the upper management isn't in the same page
