Pros
Fast paced, good pay, great place for engineers to learn and play with current technology in the industry such as AWS. Young, motivated, and smart individuals. Many individuals put their hearts and souls into this company. I am inspired and motivated to do the same.
Kontras
Forget Work-life balance. Peak time is during the holidays, starting Thanksgiving Day until the day after Christmas. Employees will definitely be on call during this period and they are expected to complete their regular work. Before this period, Kiva employees are gearing up for this peak period, so they are working vigorously to meet this deadline from both the support end and the delivering end: update equipment, software, and services that will support increased volume during the new peak season in comparison to the previous. Most of the original people have left. Rampant Turn over. Very poor support for telecommuting or working from the branch sites.
