Pros

The organizational trust from top-to-bottom is a breath of fresh air. I love being trusted to do good work, and I also appreciate the culture of feedback and improvement. We work hard here, but every single win is a true team effort - you feel involved and like your contribution truly matters. At Kalepa, you have the tools for your own improvement at your disposal, and a clear system to benchmark yourself. Your path to promotion (and everything that comes with it) is laid out for you - there is no other motive outside of improvement - professionally or as a team. Kalepa has always followed through and stayed consistent in that regard.

Cons

This culture and environment is extremely congruent to my work/life pattern, so it's hard to list specific cons. What I will say is that this is not an environment where "cruising" works. Your work needs to be intentional - implemented with conviction. Every single thing we do is meaningful, and because of that - there is no time to rest on your laurels. All we want to do is win! Additionally - our work is naturally collaborative - so working in a silo really isn't possible. We do all have our individual tasks to get done, but it's all a part of a bigger initiative - meaning you are going to need the perspectives/feedback of multiple people across multiple departments.

- Exceptionally smart colleagues who make you consistently challenge your way of thinking (in a good way). - Highly driven and committed leadership team with a lot of ambition for the business. - Strong company momentum, with impressive commercial growth. - Exciting place to be if you want to work in AI and be close to where a lot of change is happening. - If you like ownership and pace, there’s plenty of both. - Company offsites are genuinely fun and well organized.

Pros

Chill colleagues in the dev area, some of them with decent knowledge

Cons

Tech stack is below anyone's expectations and the company is too cheap to buy enough licenses for basic tools. The "Artificial Intelligence" is just a marketing stunt, the software is a series of 3rd party tools and in-house patches largely supported by a shady crowdsourced team of human reviewers. Bro culture among the C level and close group is unbearable, it's like high-school all over again.
