Pros

Flexibility is great (not so much anymore) and genuinely the BEST and most hard working people (not talking about management)

Cons

This is the worst place I can think to work at. The leaders are the most heartless people on this planet. Doing Layoffs AGAIN, I've lost count but this may be the 4-5th time in 2 years Knowing the situation in the middle east they have decided to ruin peoples lives even more. They talk about culture but what about your people who you throw out any every minor inconvenience. Why not fire leaders that are on their butts doing nothing There is so much favouritism, no strategy, no empathy, no structure. It's actually suffocating The salaries as is are paid below market standard and now they've also cut 30% of everyones salaries despite doing layoff. If i could give a zero I would

Pros

Given a great degree of responsibilities, trust, and power early on.

Cons

The cons here are overwhelming. Kitopi is an extremely poorly managed company from the CEO and co-founders down to the teams in the kitchen. No market or facet of the company is spared from the delusional antics of the top leadership. The only reason the company has managed to survive is 1) Strong investors backing (if it did not have pools of cash in the bank it would have collapsed by now) 2) Their ability to deeply undercompensate employees by offering a false promise of growth. Everything at Kitopi is a fight with management, even when presented with overwhelming data and support form various teams they act out of ego and emotion. From putting their employees in harm's way to disseminating false information the company even forced employees to leave fake positive reviews both about their products online but as well as on this and other job posting sites. Put simply this company has no real culture, it prides its love of 'Kitopians' while abusing those same employees. Only to threaten to fire them at every turn. They drop/replace senior management level employees on a monthly basis (that says it all right there).
