      Pros

      Kiva is full of enthusiastic, smart, mission-driven people. Impact really is at the center of everything Kiva does. It's a great place to work in tech while contributing to a larger mission. There's a good blend of folks who have been at Kiva for years and new people bringing in fresh perspectives. Work-life balance is also good and flexible. People take the time off to recharge.

      Cons

      - Kiva straddles the uncomfortable line between tech company and non-profit. It's uncomfortable because there is an expectation that we build a robust product with a fraction of the resources. - Career growth opportunities are very sparse. The organization is very flat and there are no formal growth ladders set in place. - Senior leadership has seen a lot of turnover in the past year which has created instability and re-orgs.

      Pros

      Very friendly and supportive culture. One of the best places to work overall. The management team (with exception of the CTO) is amazing and embodies the Kiva culture!

      Cons

      New CTO is not the best cultural fit for Kiva. He has a "not so empathetic" vibe when something goes wrong.
