Pros

Benefits are good, got a 401(k) in the last couple years finally. Leadership is really flexible and supportive of you whenever life throws you a curve ball. There are definitely things that need improvement in terms of work environment and inter-team communication protocols and expectations. But overall, a really enjoyable place to work.

Cons

There seems to be a leftover expectation from some people who interact with the engineering team frequently from when the company was smaller that the engineering team members will just dive into every problem at any hour of the day, regardless of who is actually oncall. It can take a fair bit of pushback to make these people understand that it's not an oncall issue and that you'll take care of it in the morning. Sometimes, there's a large amount of pressure to start and finish a project that isn't as well defined as it needs to be.

Pros

Good learning experience for working in golang

Cons

Company hired management from Amazon and tried to treat its small teams of engineers like they worked at Amazon, then they start outsourcing the engineering work alienating long time tech workers which lead to legacy systems failing.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. We are sorry to hear your most recent experience within the Engineering team has been poor. Kochava holds our employees and their knowledge in very high regard, so we are saddened to hear that you feel we prioritize product over people. Over the last couple years, we’ve focused on hiring additional support to our engineering team to stabilize our systems and focus on customer feedback. We value your constructive criticism.
