Pros
The concept of freelancer management is rapidly growing, and Kalo's product is solving a large and archaic problem for many companies.
Cons
The CEO and yes people he surrounds himself with. If you disagree with the CEO at anytime, you are blacklisted, and most times completely ignored. He needs to grow up and learn from his shortcomings.

Since this review, our CEO has built out a seasoned leadership team, including our CTO (ex-SuccessFactors/SAP), VP Product (ex-LinkedIn/Wealthfront), and COO (ex-realtor.com/Barclays).
Kalo is really building something that is needed on the market by both companies and freelancers.
It’s easy to believe in this product because it is in fact, amazing.
Leadership is young but smart and driven. Office culture is incredibly collaborative, friendly and supportive. It’s an exciting place to be. I have a very direct impact on the product, my voice is heard and I’m not being limited with what I want to accomplish.
Cons
This is a startup so don’t expect flossy perks like at large tech companies. But maybe one day:)
