Pros

Having the opportunity to work fully remote is a true privilege for achieving work-life balance. I've been at KOHO for just over two years now and I really enjoy both the work I do each day, the team I work with and the culture. One of the best parts of working here is the people. I've gained so much experience and I have had the privilege of interacting and learning from incredibly brilliant minds. KOHO is an excellent workplace where my feedback is consistently valued, making me feel appreciated as an employee. I have confidence in KOHO's growth and progress, and I firmly believe in our success due to the strength of our team!

Cons

There are some fantastic benefits and budgets provided, but the only downside is that some of these benefits that I truly liked have been changed from what was previously offered. Unlimited PTO has been altered, and the employer matching RRSP contributions have been paused, which I hope will resume soon again.

Pros

- There are a fair amount of smart people at the company and many are good people - The company might eventually IPO and get you a return, although the dollar value of options granted to new employees is quite low - You can write Go

Cons

- Upper management is a self-congratulatory echo chamber - Most middle-management is not effective. There is a mix of those who are well intended and overburdened, and some who are straight up incompetent and thrive due to being able to project themselves well upward - Weekly forced kool aid all company standup. It is pretty gross if you are a critical thinker - Advertised coaching system and associated functions simply serve to provide validation to upper management. It is an echo chamber - Top performers, A players have two choices: integrate into the top layer and pretend and/or try your best to maximize productivity and find yourself frustrated by those who derive value from being blockers and posturing - Some inexperienced and mid tier caliber people who are a bit big fish in a small pond - Many people high up in the company think that they are experts, but in reality have low experience level and derive lessons only from a single toxic environment.
